Behind the positive narrative often lies an uncomfortable truth: this developer's decision to prioritize fees over profit was a choice, not an inevitability. Strip away the feel-good framing, and what emerges is stark—countless other creators facing similar situations never received such favorable treatment. Their stories fade into silence while this outlier gets celebrated. The disparity is telling: one person's "luck" versus hundreds of others left without resolution. This isn't about praising exceptions; it's about acknowledging a systemic problem. When protocol outcomes hinge on individual goodwill rather than structural fairness, the real winners aren't creators—they're the narratives that obscure how broken the incentive system actually is.

Exactly right, this is the norm in Web3. A developer gets hyped up, while the struggles of hundreds of people behind the scenes are ignored. The system itself is rotten, relying on individual integrity to save the day? That's a joke.

Laughing and then crying, a developer's "choice," the silence of hundreds of developers—this is the story of Web3.

Uh really, this is the common problem in the crypto world. One person's good luck gets them hyped up, while all the blood, sweat, and tears are completely overlooked. Honestly.

ngl this whole "feel-good dev story" is pure copium... narrative wins, systemic rot stays buried. classic market psychology—they need their heroes while the real signal screams inequality. paper hands celebrate exceptions, alphas accumulate data on what actually matters
