What are the rules of garbage marketing? It’s not always clear, but successful tactics definitely have patterns to follow.



The most ruthless way to deal with those who are easily fooled involves just a few tricks:

The first and most brilliant trick—speak in vague, ambiguous terms, making it impossible to find fault. It sounds like the truth, but it’s all nonsense. Religious marketing best illustrates this point.

In plain terms, the more abstract and difficult to falsify a viewpoint is, the more it can confuse people. That’s exactly why many projects like to package themselves as “Web3 revolution” or “rewriting the financial landscape.” Specific promises that are easy to refute tend to seem cheap.

Wake up, that's why I never believe in the Web3 revolution, it's all just a scam.

The point is made perfectly. That's how my crypto friends around me got caught in the trap.

This set of fancy talk is truly top-notch; anyway, you can't verify it.

This trick works anywhere. All those big words in Web3 make me want to vomit.

Someone's starting to tell stories again, just waiting for the newbies to take the bait.

Haha, isn't this just talking about some crypto projects? Constantly claiming to rewrite finance with Web3, but what’s the result? They all run away faster than the others.

Haha, these are the projects I look at every day. They sound very profound but just don't provide any numbers.

The term Web3 has been overused, but the ones that can actually be implemented are rarely heard of.

Haha, you're so right. This kind of tactic is seen often in the crypto world.

Whether it's a genuine project or not, they all love to hype Web3. How exactly do they make money? They avoid the question.

The easiest to be exploited are those who think it's high-end just because they don't understand.

Haha, really. I've seen too many project teams do this. The more mysterious they sound, the more people buy in.

Yeah, specific promises are indeed more likely to be broken, and vague statements always leave an escape route.

This analysis is pretty good, but I just feel like I realized it a bit late... I've already been scammed.

Oh my god, I'm the type easily fooled. Thinking back, I was really stupid back then.

Playing mahjong is even more sensible than listening to these Web3 revolution talks.

Really, big words after big words, honestly it's all empty talk, and no one actually looks at the specific numbers.

The rhetoric is truly brilliant; I was scammed by this trick last year. Now, whenever I see the project team hype up a "revolution," I just want to laugh.

Haha, this is really spot on. I love this kind of analysis that hits right at the core. All those Web3 project teams are really using this kind of approach, talking so superficially...
