It's true there was a lot of shilling; but there were also (IMO) plenty of warnings. --- The official YAM announcement said things such as: > YAM holds zero inherent value > This was a 10-day project from start to launch. We STRONGLY urge caution to anyone who chooses to engage with these contracts, and think a proper professional audit would be highly advisable if this project gets any meaningful use. (see https://medium.com/@yamfinance/yam-finance-d0ad577250c7 https://medium.com/@yamfinance/yam-finance-d0ad577250c7) --- There was shilling, but there were also people like Taylor Monahan of MyCrypto.com (one of the main Ethereum webwallets): > please dont be the poor fucker who loses more money than they can afford to lose on an experimental mashup of all the defi things that was started 10 days ago. (see https://twitter.com/tayvano_/status/1293236568614871045 https://twitter.com/tayvano_/status/1293236568614871045) --- and DCInvestor (mod of r/ethfinance, one of the main social sites for Ethereum): > This is financial advice: Do not buy $YAM.

("econoar" of the Into The Ether podcast, one of the bigger news reporters within the ecosystem): > Everyone is about to go crazy over this but please for the love of god read the whole post. "Audits: None." Just assume you're going to lose everything if you play with it and you're fine.
