The Evolution of Fraud or Why People Believe in Tapping: A Beginner's Perspective

The answer for me is simple - naivety.

At first, they give away tapping in the game for free and almost effortlessly, which is a marketing ploy that attracts a crowd. Then, in the next game, it's also free, but already for some actions, such as watching a YouTube channel, etc. And now people are ready; you can already try to extract money beyond the aforementioned, and transactions and all that follow. But they could have used the idea of tapping for something good. For example, they could create the same coins and actually help some business increase production capacity through borrowed funds with repayment, or something else.
