The actions of the major exchanges ultimately boil down to increasingly elaborate designs—fees, hidden costs, promotional rebates. Frankly, it's just about trying to extract more from users' wallets. Trading depth, slippage, liquidation prices... every aspect has room for optimization, but what they're really optimizing is how to make you pay more. In this business, users are always the ones who end up footing the bill.

Uh... it's just that the retail investors are too easy to exploit. If you ask me, I should have moved to DEXs earlier.

This is completely a scam. On the surface, the activity offers many rebates, but in reality, the fees have long secretly increased.

Someone should have said this earlier: exchanges are just using a variety of tricks to harvest retail investors.

Really, now exchanges are coming up with one scheme after another, and I'm already tired of it. The most outrageous part is the hidden costs—you think you're saving money, but in the end, you end up losing a lot.

I should have known earlier. Every time I look at their fee schedule, I want to vomit. They superficially lower fees, but behind the scenes, they come up with VIP levels, rebate delays... layer after layer.

Here we go again with this trick? I've seen through it long ago. When the transaction fee drops, the rebate from promotions effectively increases again. This move is truly clever.

Big exchanges are like this—flashy rebates, but in the end, they're just exploiting your gains; no one can escape.

Hmm... Based on the on-chain data I’ve been tracking, the flow of funds in these exchange wallets has recently been somewhat suspicious. Large transfers can be observed before each activity—coincidence?

So it's just a blood drawing machine, huh? No wonder my account keeps shrinking.
