Indefinitely delaying creator fee rewards. Creators were promised 50% of the fees (1% per trade) but due to how the liquidity pools were setup the majority of this was not paid out as their fee model collected funds in both SOL and <token>. But they pay out only their SOL rewards.

An extractive fee system. Believe's liquidity pools are set to charge 2% per transaction. This is split in 3 with 40% going to Believe, 40% to the token creator, and 20% to the DEX (Meteora) It's clearly not made to last Example of a pool created that generated ~$1.2M in fees https://app.meteora.ag/pools/FRSyH7ZYF8JwVbMBpHTtBoBhtNDQg5UJeUDF8MFR99dq

Advertising one thing, doing the other. Users are told they are 'investing' in or funding startups while the token does not have any value. The startup behind the token is nothing more than 'digital merchandise' (their own words) The idea is there, the execution just wasn't https://believe.app/playbook
