A certain project team's tactics are really outrageous—they actually managed to persuade a well-known blogger to post a recommendation without any disclosure. Keep in mind that this blogger usually discloses their interests, so their silence this time is suspicious in itself. Looking at the whole incident, this is indeed one of the most obvious marketing tricks I have seen. By hiding sponsorship relationships and inducing opinion leaders to spread unverified content, this approach not only violates the industry's basic transparency principles but also seriously misleads retail investors. The practices of such projects deserve vigilance.

On-chain data has long shown that the fund flow is abnormal; I've seen this kind of manipulation many times before.

Bro, I've seen this trick many times, it's really disgusting. This blogger suddenly didn't mark it? They must have been caught. Retail investors get wiped out like this, stay alert. Another scam project, next time I see it, I'll just block it. If there's no transparency, how dare they come out and mingle.

The blogger doesn't disclose conflicts of interest? That's a really clever move, looks fake at a glance. I'm already tired of this trick, retail investors should wake up. Can you trust projects that hide sponsorship relationships? Nowadays, even KOLs can be bought off, I can't believe it. The most outrageous thing is that some people still believe these undisclosed recommendations.

Is this blogger suddenly not marking it? This doesn't seem right... --- Same old trick, able to deceive people completely --- Retail investors deserve to be cut, all because you don't look at disclosure information --- Daring to promote coins without hiding sponsorship, this project is really shady --- It's always like this, when the blogger is silent, there's something fishy --- I knew something was off about this recommendation, turns out there was no disclosure --- This kind of project team really should be blacklisted in the industry --- Wait, this blogger has always been very professional, this time is indeed abnormal --- There's no transparency left, what trust can we talk about

The blogger really messed up this time, even daring to skip the disclosure. It seems the project team’s funds are indeed in place. I've seen this trick so many times before, retail investors are still getting cut.

Not disclosing at all? That's just outrageous. --- The blogger suddenly changed personality, which is truly bizarre. --- It's the same old trick again. When will Web3 finally be clean? --- Retail investors will always be the last to be harvested. --- Why hasn't anyone investigated this kind of behind-the-scenes operation? --- Relying on inducing opinion leaders to harvest retail investors is just incredible. --- Anomalies are signals; everyone understands this principle. --- Transparency principle? It doesn't exist here. --- It's always the same every time. I'm already numb. --- Can hiding sponsorships be penalized, or will it continue to grow wildly?

Hey, this operation is really not proper, the bloggers aren't even marking it? That's really worth a taste --- Another sneaky tactic to cut leeks, retail investors are always the last to take the fall --- This method is really disgusting, even transparency is gone, who dares to touch it will be unlucky --- Blogger's abnormal silence? That must mean their moves are frozen, understand or not --- Daring to step on the industry's bottom line, this project is not far from death --- Wow, even opinion leaders can be bought, this circle is really rotten through --- Honestly, retail investors are just cannon fodder, if the information is fake, how can they play? --- That's why I don't trust any recommendations, it's all tricks --- No disclosure and then recommending? Isn't that fraud? Social death is just a matter of time --- Beware, it's a miracle that this kind of project has survived until now

honestly the whole "undisclosed sponsorship" angle here is like... textbook governance failure? like, sub-optimal incentive structures meet path dependency meets complete stakeholder misalignment. that influencer suddenly going radio silent on disclosures? *chef's kiss* – historically precedent suggests this is when things get weird.

The blogger is breaking their usual rule and not disclosing this time, which is indeed suspicious. --- It's the same old trick again, hiding sponsorships to deceive retail investors. --- I've seen this kind of tactic too many times; it's not interesting. --- Unusual silence is probably the biggest signal. --- Industry transparency has been completely ruined this way. --- You can even copy this tactic with a different blogger, it's too outrageous.

Is this blogger suddenly not disclosing anymore? It does seem a bit suspicious. Really incredible, they even dare to skip the most basic disclosures. It's the same old trick again, retail investors are always the biggest victims. Daring to promote without disclosing relationships? Quite bold. Projects that secretly cause trouble like this will eventually face social death. Take a good look, the tricks are so obvious.
