Projects like InfoFi are indeed among the many creative PMF samples recently; I have to acknowledge that. The core strategy is basically to attract content creators into the ecosystem with various promises, but in the actual implementation phase, things often take a different turn. This is also why creator communities keep shifting between different platforms — everyone knows this is a game of profit. The project teams use visions and incentives to attract people, while creators exchange popularity and contributions for revenue. The mutual trust baseline is right there, and everyone knows how this relationship will ultimately play out.

Basically, it's a game of hot potato; whoever ends up holding the bag is the fool. --- Creators are getting smarter and have long since figured out this scam. --- A 20% fulfillment rate is considered a good conscience project. --- Anyway, it's all a game of cutting leeks; participants are well aware of it. --- No matter how creative PMF is, it can't change the essence of seeking profit. --- The most clear-headed when watching the show, but once it's their turn, they become deaf. --- That's why I never believe the stories from project teams. --- Fast runners are the real winners. --- Bidirectional trust? Ha, anyone who believes that is a fool.

I'm tired of this routine; no matter how good the promises sound, in the end, they just take a cut and walk away. Wait, isn't this the common template for all Web3 projects? Creators really should unite and not keep getting fooled. Basically, it's just mutual exploitation—nothing new. I've seen too many projects like this; the pattern is always the same.

Really, we've seen through this routine long ago. The project team makes grand promises, creators take the bait, and it repeats endlessly. In simple terms, it's just two words—cutting leeks. Promises are always ten times faster than delivery. Another round of vampire financing, no matter how fresh it looks, can't escape this curse. Creators jumping around so frequently, who can we blame? It's just because they've been exploited and are afraid of being drained. PMF? I think it's PMF scam. The promises are separated from reality by an ocean. Alright, here we go again, this time just rebranding with a different name, but the essence remains unchanged.

Basically, it's the same old trick. During the pie-in-the-sky phase, everything looks great, but once it's time to deliver, they start to back out. Creators have long seen through it.

Old tricks again, that's true, but how many can actually be兑现ed? After round after round of cutting, creators must have already become numb, right?

The gap between promise and fulfillment, to put it simply, is the Web3 version of "Schrödinger's Incentive." An interesting discovery is that most creators are actually well aware of this, yet they still forge ahead...
