It's frustrating—I've shipped something solid and even open sourced the underlying tech on GitHub. Yet when it comes to getting real support or traction, there's radio silence.

Every time I attempt a launch on a major platform, regardless of the amount involved, the same pattern emerges: heavy bot activity, front-running, token sniping. The whole experience becomes a battle against automated systems rather than a fair market.

Was hoping for better backing by now. Seems like genuine builders struggle to get a real shot when the playing field is flooded with bots and extraction tactics.

NGL, this is what Web3 looks like right now. The ones actually causing trouble are instead being suppressed by robots.

This is the truth about Web3—no one is paying attention to open source.

This is the current state of Web3—bots running rampant is truly unbelievable.

Oh no, this is the current state of web3. Even with open-source technology, no one pays attention. --- Bots run rampant, and the true builders are being completely exploited. --- I feel the same way. The things we work so hard to create are ultimately harvested by robots. --- This is outrageous. The market is no longer a market at all; it's simply a playground for bots. --- Why do good projects always die on the launchpad, while those worthless coins skyrocket? --- The spirit of open source is really useless here. Those who should be supported are instead neglected.

This is the current state of Web3: no one cares about open-source projects, and as soon as they go live, they get exploited by bots.

Open-sourcing the code still didn't get any response, which is similar to several audit cases I've seen—no matter how well the code is written, if the market mechanism is broken, it's useless. The bot sniping + front-running setup, to put it simply, is an ecosystem problem caused by poor permission control.

ngl this is the current state of Web3. Good things are useless; robots have already filled the space.

This is the current state of Web3: there are more bots than humans.

Bro, this is the norm in Web3. Actually, the builders have become the biggest victims. Open-source technology is targeted by the whales, and as soon as the bot army enters the scene, there's immediate heavy loss. I've been through the same.
