Recently, I've been looking at a few yield aggregators again, and the APY on those pages really knows how to tell a story, but my first reaction now isn't "how much can I earn," but rather "where exactly is this yield coming from, which contract or counterparty is flowing out?" To put it simply, aggregators are more like packaging a bunch of risks and renaming them, showing annualized returns, but behind the scenes, it could be lending pools, market-making positions, re-staking, or even incentives from other protocols. Any hiccup in any part of this chain, and you have to bear it all.

These days, social mining and fan tokens are heating up again. "Attention is mining" sounds pretty new, but actually, like high APY, it's just hiding complex costs and payout paths in a single phrase. Anyway, my current approach is a bit like making a backup for myself: not aiming for maximum returns, leaving some redundancy, preferring to earn a little less, and not placing all trust in a single contract and a single narrative. For now, that's it, watching slowly.
