Ever notice how pumped everyone gets when a trading platform rolls out higher cashback rates? Thing is, you're just getting a portion of your own money back. The whole trick is pretty transparent when you think about it—they could simply lower fees instead, right? But that wouldn't create the same buzz. A rebate sounds like a win; a fee cut sounds like damage control. Smart marketing disguised as generosity.

Haha, really, this cashback trick is just psychological marketing. To put it simply, it's still about scamming the little guys.

Basically, it's just a smokescreen; we've been tricked and manipulated to death.

To be honest, I've seen through this trick a long time ago, it's just the same psychology marketing tactics, the same old "limited-time offer" gimmick.

According to data, the exchange's rebate model can create approximately 47% more psychological superiority compared to direct fee reductions. The mechanism behind this is worth analyzing... Rebates give users the illusion of "earning," while fee reductions appear more passive and defensive. From a marketing perspective, this is indeed a clever redefinition of messaging. It is recommended to pay attention to the actual fee structure of such platforms and the historical trend of rebate proportions.

Honestly, I've seen through this cashback trick long ago. It's just using your own money to play psychological games with you.

It's the same old trick again. When I monitor the market late at night, this is what annoys me the most. Cashback? It's just a smokescreen for fees. If you really want to save money, you should calculate the gwei fee rate yourself, so you don't end up saving less than their cashback offer.
