Talking about the operational tactics of certain perpetual contract platforms, it really leaves people speechless. On one hand, they inflate OTC valuations, and on the other hand, they hint at market trends to manipulate retail investors. With this combination, the fees paid by users in real money become just "data tools" for the platform. What's even more heartbreaking is—people still get witch-hunted.

Isn't this just about expectation management combined with psychological manipulation? Users work hard to contribute trading volume, only to be sanctioned by the platform in return. Anyone who has experienced this knows how disgusting it feels.

Comparing this to platforms like Aster reveals the difference. They welcome highly active traders and never engage in witch-hunting mechanisms. This is the kind of Perp DEX that should exist—treating users as users, not as cash cows. Think about it, if a platform truly has confidence, why rely on such petty tricks to control the situation? Honestly engaging with retail investors as friends is the way to build a sustainable ecosystem.
