Honestly, we need to talk about what's happening on TikTok. Some project teams are straight up running rugs targeting retail investors who don't know better. It's predatory marketing at its finest—promise the moon, take the money, ghost. The casual tone they use to rope in normies is exactly what makes this worse. This isn't speculation or FUD; it's documented behavior. If we want Web3 to survive and actually serve people, we can't keep ignoring these tactics. Call out the bad actors, support legitimate builders, and stop giving these schemes oxygen.

Wake up everyone, that bunch of projects on TikTok is just a money-making machine, really nothing new I didn't expect that after being played for suckers so many times, people are still rushing in, haha Come on, the Web3 circle should have been cleaned up a long time ago To put it bluntly, retail investors never learn, there will always be business for playing people for suckers But I agree with you, this group of people needs to be exposed Why are so many people still falling for it, I really don't understand Don't listen to them bragging about holding coins, check who the project party is before making a decision Someone should have spoken up about this a long time ago, it's been held in for a while Are true builders that hard to find? Why are there so many garbage projects In this day and age, there really aren't many projects you can trust, be careful.

I said it a long time ago, those project parties on TikTok are just blatantly playing people for suckers, and they act like fren, it’s really disgusting. --- To put it bluntly, this is a low-threshold eyewash, and retail investors have no time to react. --- It's unbearable, every time I scroll past those "guaranteed to get rich" videos I want to report them, but reporting doesn't help. --- If Web3 really wants to survive, it needs to get rid of these RATS, otherwise who would dare to touch it? --- What’s most annoying is that they use that "Hey buddy" tone to deceive people, making you feel like you’re being treated like a fool. --- Wake up everyone, those promising monthly returns of several hundred percent, nine and a half out of ten are Rug Pull plans. --- Alright, instead of cursing here, it’s better to directly block those suspicious accounts and not let them gain any traffic.

Really, those projects on TikTok are just ridiculous, all traps... My fren has been played people for suckers before, and now he doesn't dare to touch them anymore.
