I definitely agree, maybe staking can earn you some profit but I wouldn't even do this as you will support their coin by doing this.
Anyway lending in my opinion is a very bad move after what happened to Bitconnect.
Check out this article in which I explain why I think lending platforms will slowly die from now on.
