That is totally understandable, because people are tired of projects that are unable to secure their soft caps. Thats why the majority of community has switched to IEOs, because it is almost a guaranteed success by taking part in them.
You may not earn at all IEO. You can increase your capital by participating in the IEO only on the top exchanges; on all other exchanges, the result of participating in the IEO can be the same as participating in the ICO, which even soft cap cannot collect. Therefore, the situation is not much different.
