It's recently again the airdrop season, and that task platform's anti-witchcraft + points system has made people as competitive as clocking in at work... As a result, many casually throw their positions into the pool, thinking "just to earn some fees along the way," honestly, AMM curves aren't designed for you to make money lying around. When the price drifts, you'll passively rebalance your position in the pool, earning less when prices go up, earning more when they go down, and in the end, it's not as good as just holding spot assets honestly; whether fees can cover impermanent loss depends entirely on volatility and trading volume—no volume means just taking a beating. I now prefer to keep an eye on gas and block rhythm, taking small, quick steps, rather than being that "long-term liquidity provider = philanthropist"... Aggressive as I am, I still need to keep the books clear.
