Scammers get all the attention, because they figured out how to exploit social media to funnel tons of attention to themselves.
Perhaps I’m not smart enough to be in this space..
Avoiding scams is not a matter of intelligence; it's a matter of avoiding the places where the scammers go. In the case of web3/cryptocurrency scammers, those places are websites like Twitter and Reddit. Those scammers are true professionals, insofar as they know exactly what to do to get people to sign up for scams over-and-over again.
The only winning move is to avoid social media.
