Part 2 of my journey exploring free mining
I took some time to look around and research several mobile free-mining projects currently on the market. And I am convinced that 99% of these projects are taking advantage of some users’ lack of knowledge and exploiting the ad-viewing model.
Most of these teams consist of only a few people and heavily rely on AI. Once the hype dies down, they may simply abandon the project and launch another one.
So how can we protect ourselves? What are the red flags that should make you ignore a project?
1/ Location is not as important as people think
Most people focus heavily on the location shown on X. However, global teams often travel for business, so their location is rarely an accurate indicator. Not to mention that for small teams, faking a location today is extremely easy.
What you should actually investigate is the project’s partners, public information, and the relationships surrounding the project. Where do those connections usually come from? Are they credible and verifiable?
2/ The ability to spend money
This is something you can observe through how much a project invests in events, operations, and the quality of its team.
Projects with very limited financial resources often do not even have a dedicated design team, and almost 100% of their visuals may be generated by AI. For a professional company, this is simply unacceptable.
The way a project allocates money can tell you a lot about whether there is a real organization behind it.
3/ Product features and direction
Professional companies usually have dedicated experts analyzing the market and defining a clear product direction.
They do not just make vague statements or constantly push FOMO narratives.
Their products should also be released strategically and effectively, rather than launching or spamming features that provide little value and cannot compete in the market.
4/ No clear revenue model and 100% dependence on advertising
This becomes a chicken-and-egg problem.
A project without a concrete source of revenue, relying entirely on the small amount of money generated from advertisements, cannot sustainably build a real company or maintain a high-quality team.
Eventually, the project will reach a dead end.
5/ Constantly pleasing the community instead of having clear principles and direction
Some projects tend to comfort the community and simply tell people what they want to hear instead of maintaining their own principles and a clear long-term direction.
This can become a psychological tactic: following community sentiment rather than making the decisions that are actually best for protecting and developing the project.
A project leader should have a strong personality, clear convictions, and deep vision, especially when that vision is not yet understood by everyone.
These are some of my personal observations and analysis.
I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts and feedback.
