Recently, while participating in the daily tasks of an emerging project, I encountered a pretty frustrating issue. Every day at 8 AM when the tasks open, the quota is immediately gone, and it's impossible to grab one. As a result, the plan to earn lottery chances by completing tasks is completely thwarted.

It seems that the project team may not have figured out how to balance popularity and actual capacity. The task volume is too small, and there are too many participants, leading to most people having no chance to participate. This kind of design can really dampen community enthusiasm—many people spend a lot of time trying, only to find there's no hope, and eventually they lose interest and stop following up.

If tasks were distributed in time slots or queued by participation order, the experience might be better. After all, a sense of participation is quite important for the cold start of a new project.

What are you waking up for? This is just a leek harvest machine. This tactic is obviously intentional hunger marketing, creating a sense of scarcity. It sold out in 8 seconds at 8 a.m., honestly, the project team has no genuine intention to do proper operations.

This wave is really heartbreaking. It's really outrageous that it sold out in seconds at 8 a.m. with this kind of design. Really, if you can't get it, you have to wait every day. Not only does it waste time, but it also discourages enthusiasm. The project team clearly hasn't thought this through. Popularity is one thing, but people should be able to participate, right? Why not release it in phases? Why open everything all at once? Isn't that just asking for trouble? Anyway, small projects like this tend to be like this early on, and they'll only get worse later. Maybe it's time to consider a different approach.

It's the same story again, always gone in seconds. It feels like the project team hasn't thought it through at all. Too many people and too few spots. This approach is doomed to fail. Is it really that hard to distribute in batches? It's just laziness. I'm just going to give up. If there's no sense of participation, what's the point of being involved in this project? If this continues, the community's enthusiasm will only keep cooling down.

Isn't this a typical case of "hot on paper, but a total flop in reality"? I was still half-asleep at 8 AM trying to grab tasks. Is this how you do the lottery? Why not just do a blind box? At least that way you wouldn't pretend to be so righteous. I've seen this kind of leek-cutting tactic many times. The hype is there, but where's the real money and participation? The project team has no clue. With such poor quality of a cold start, it will inevitably fail sooner or later.

Ha, it's the same old trick again. As soon as I refresh at 8 AM, it's gone? Bro, isn't this just like the gas wars when Uniswap first launched? History tends to repeat itself.
