A shocking pivot in decentralized social: one major platform just abandoned 4.5 years of building after securing $180M from top-tier VCs. They snapped up Clanker—a trading bot with $4.8B in volume—and went all-in on trading wallets. Here's the kicker: their mini-app pulled $100K in a single weekend, while social features? Crickets. When 83% of your activity happens on Base chain and zero comes from the core product, the writing's on the wall. Sometimes the market tells you what it wants, even if it's not what you built.

Forget it, I still have to listen to the market. Investing 180 million is not as appealing as a trading robot, now that's very Web3.

Damn, 4.5 years of hard work wasted, and now you're directly trusting trading robots? That's ridiculous.

Damn, 4.5 years of hard work for nothing, and now switching to crypto trading? I really can't wrap my head around this logic.

Raising 180M only to ultimately fall at the hands of a trading bot—this is truly absurd.

Ha, 4.5 years wasted for nothing? A single trading bot can earn more over a weekend. This is what Web3 is.

A typical case of being schooled by the market; 4.5 years of hard work wasted, I really can't take it anymore.
