Recently, I saw someone say "Throw it into the pool and lie back to earn transaction fees," I almost sprayed my drink... The AMM curve is basically you helping the market automatically rebalance, when prices go up or down you're forced to buy low and sell high, earning some fees but impermanent loss can be even harsher, especially during volatile times, it's really not like sleeping and waking up with an extra car.
And now some places are tightening or loosening taxes and compliance, causing expectations for deposits and withdrawals to change, everyone gets emotional, and the price swings become even more exaggerated, with market makers taking the hit first. There are plenty of tutorials, but I prefer those that actually use real pools to openly calculate the "earned fees vs. lost curve," not just motivational talk. That's all for now, I’m still in the pool, but I’m not as relaxed.
