The third phase of RIVER project points could be claimed a while ago. Interestingly, many well-known community participants chose to continue staking for 3 months after seeing the high scores, and quite a few followed suit later. Now, the fourth phase tasks have been launched, but the points earned are noticeably less than before.

However, the tasks themselves are quite straightforward—register an account, post some content, interact with others, with no complicated thresholds. The project team’s approach is indeed clever, tightly controlling the game of human nature. Especially with the setting that points are settled every hour, basically, those betting on a short position are the ones paying the price. This mechanism may seem simple, but in reality, it manages participants’ expectations very effectively.

Here comes the usual move of cutting the leeks again, with points shrinking— isn't this standard procedure?

It's starting to shrink again, a typical sheep-shearing tactic. --- Wait, can this thing really make money or is it just for fun? --- Basically, it's just using FOMO to tease people. Smart folks have already seen through it. --- Points settle every hour? Then I have to stare at the screen 24/7. That's exhausting. --- Follow-the-crowd types are all fools. The people from phase three probably regret it now. --- The project team definitely plays with people's minds, but I won't fall for it. --- I've seen this kind of mechanism too many times. In the end, retail investors always end up holding the bag. --- Why was the fourth phase's points cut in half? Clearly, they're just harvesting. --- It's interesting, but the sad part is, we can't make any money, friends.

The point reduction is so obvious, it feels like it's just a way to harvest those who entered afterward.

The devaluation of points is really heartbreaking; those who joined early made a killing.

It's the same old trick of cutting leeks again, everyone can see through the point reduction. This time, they really played it well, trapping everyone with human greed. Settling every hour, in simple terms, it's to prevent someone from running away. What seems like simple tasks are actually traps.
