Recently, RIVER has been quite active in marketing efforts. Over the past few days, they have intensively approached many KOLs and opinion leaders for advertising, and the promotional intensity has clearly increased. Interestingly, these marketing costs are often ultimately borne by retail investors, who are indirectly transferred through price manipulation and accumulation tactics. I've seen too many similar schemes—initial hype, attracting attention, gathering momentum, and then? The risks are always shifted to those retail investors who enter later. This operational model warrants caution.

Same old story, KOLs promote products, retail investors buy in, classic harvesting process --- Pump and accumulate tricks are really everywhere, it's always the same way to cut profits --- I've seen this kind of routine too many times, doesn't everyone know who ultimately pays for RIVER's marketing expenses? --- Creating hype early on to generate heat, those who come in later have to take the final hit, this is the current situation --- Shifting marketing costs onto retail investors, this model is too disgusting --- It's always the same rhythm every time, when will we see a different approach --- Should have been alert to the operational logic of these projects long ago, the risk is always in the back row --- KOLs advertise, the coin price is pumped up, retail investors rush in... the套路 is too deep --- Why is it always retail investors who end up paying? Is this the reality of Web3?

Here we go again with this set? KOLs promoting products, retail investors taking the hit, old tricks all over again --- I’ve seen this kind of marketing from RIVER before, a typical pattern of accumulating funds --- Basically, it’s using our money for marketing, and in the end, we’re the ones paying the bill --- There have been too many instances of hype in the early stages, it’s always the same --- Why do retail investors always have to take the blame for these marketing costs? --- Someone really needs to investigate this kind of operation thoroughly --- KOLs doing advertisements? The fastest runners will be them --- Pulling up the price to attract funds, classic tactic, hard to defend against --- Shifting risks to late entrants, it’s always the same script --- When marketing efforts intensify, be cautious—this is a basic pattern

It's the same old trick again, KOLs promoting products + accumulating shares, retail investors just buying in. I've seen through these marketing tactics long ago; once the funding chain breaks, the scam is exposed immediately. RIVER is so aggressive this time, when will they start to cut the leeks? They hype it up early on to trick retail investors into buying, and I can guess how they'll run away later. I've seen too many projects like this; the routines are all the same. Pumping up the price to attract shares and transfer risk? Isn't this just the standard for pyramid schemes? What's there to be cautious about? It's obviously a Ponzi game.

This routine is getting boring, KOLs promote products and retail investors take the bait, it's the same old story. --- RIVER's marketing this time, tsk, I just want to see who will get cut. --- It's always the same, as soon as the hype starts, it's time to run. --- They hyped it up extravagantly at the beginning, but in the end, it's still those latecomers who get trapped. --- Wake up, everyone. The money in the marketing budget doesn't just disappear. --- I've seen too many operations that transfer risk to retail investors, and RIVER is no exception. --- KOL endorsement? I only look at the flow of chips; that's the real truth. --- This pump and accumulate scheme, change the coin and name, and do it all over again—it's really enough.

It's the same old trick again, KOLs promote products, retail investors buy in, and in the end, it's a complete mess. Oh my, it's happening again. Why is it always so predictable? RIVER's marketing costs this time will still be paid by us, a classic pattern of cutting the leeks. Honestly, I've seen too much of this, hyped up at first, then all scams. The tricks of pumping the market and attracting funds really need to be exposed later. It's another sign of "marketing heating up," gotta keep a close watch. I've seen through it long ago, the endless cycle of the crypto world. Retail investors really need to be more cautious, don't get brainwashed by KOLs again.

Here we go again, KOLs promoting products, retail investors taking the bait, the script really never changes --- I'm tired of this trick of pumping up the stock and attracting capital, anyway, the final retail investors are just stepping stones --- Wait, does anyone still believe in RIVER now? I saw through this pattern last year --- Shifting marketing costs to retail investors, this is outrageous, who still falls into this trap --- It's always like this, KOLs call for orders, hype builds up, then they dump the market, cycle after cycle, so annoying --- Latecomers are all cannon fodder, this kind of understanding should be common sense --- How can there still be projects playing this old trick? Doesn't the market have any new tricks? --- Seeing through it is one thing, but people still rush in, this is the market

Is this the same old trick again? KOLs promoting products, retail investors taking the hit, old routine --- RIVER's recent marketing feels a bit rushed, like a dense bombardment --- Using the pump and dump tactic has become worn out; every time, retail investors get cut --- Early hype, later blame-shifting, a classic script --- This pattern is just shifting risk; everyone, stay alert --- KOL endorsements always come with costs; ultimately, someone has to pay, be aware --- Looking at these marketing moves, something feels off --- Why do retail investors always end up being the last to buy? Worth pondering --- Be cautious, but still, some get cut; there's nothing to do --- Intensified marketing = the final sprint before a rug pull?
