When it comes to why some projects are so easily overlooked, I think it's not that mysterious. In today's environment, everyone has developed a very fixed way of evaluating projects—first grasp the narrative, then see if the emotions can be triggered, and finally decide whether to invest effort to understand.
APRO happens to be out of sync in all three stages. The first impression clearly shows that this project doesn't have any particularly strong labels. Unlike those whose names immediately suggest a certain direction, or those old stories that have been repeatedly validated. It's hard to give it a clear category in three seconds—honestly, in the current information consumption environment, this is a fatal flaw. Because most judgments are made in a very short time now.
I'm the same way. I didn't think it was bad at first; I just felt "there's no need to look now." This mindset is quite genuine and quite common. The market is pushing all kinds of seemingly more direct and stimulating things every day, and projects like this won't actively grab your attention.
Looking deeper, many people skip over it not because they lack technical understanding, but because they already have a fixed expectation model. In this model, a project must have a clear breakout point, a narrative that can spread quickly, and a reason to ignite emotions instantly. But APRO's presentation clearly doesn't follow this template. That's why it's easily overlooked—not because of the project itself, but because it doesn't quite match the market's current "fast-food" cognitive system.

Isn't this a classic example of market psychology bias? The distribution of chips has already explained everything.

Interesting point, but I think this is a common problem in the crypto world—everything needs to have a sexy story to go along with it.
Haha, boring projects like APRO really don’t do well in this era, but on second thought, maybe that’s actually an opportunity?
Low-profile projects are often wrongly overlooked; by the time they achieve real results, it’s too late to regret.
Weak tagging is indeed a major flaw; no one wants to spend brainpower researching something that’s hard to see clearly.
But I still believe the problem isn’t with the project itself, it’s that people these days are too impatient, they don’t even have time to think.

That's so true. Nowadays, fast food culture is truly dominant. Who has the time or interest to look at those "storyless" projects?

It's not wrong to say that the market has now been trained to only consume "fast food." But on the other hand, projects like APRO that aren't self-promoting are indeed easily overlooked.
---
Indeed, without a strong narrative, it's only fair to be neglected—that's the reality.
---
I understand what you mean, but the problem is, how many people really have the patience to dig into those "not sexy" projects?
---
I buy into this logic, but the premise is that APRO truly deserves to be seen, right?
---
It feels like you're defending APRO, but the market is just so ruthless.
---
Honestly, it's still information overload; everyone is betting on short-term gains, so who has time for those "slow-burn" projects?
---
Oh, so APRO was actually brought down by its own low profile?
---
On the other hand, being ignored might not be a bad thing; at least it can avoid the wave of getting caught in a pump-and-dump scheme.

That's so true. Right now, it's information anxiety, and fast-food thinking has been overplayed.
