A game monetization strategy for encouraging player spending by splitting the player base into smaller isolated groups (often servers) that cannot interact with each other within the game, especially in the context of pay-to-win and gacha. Whales will find it easier to top leader boards due to the smaller amount of competition, and non-whales who are surprised to find themselves on the leader boards will feel pressure to spend money to keep their position. Additionally, if casual players begin to lose interest and depopulate servers, low-population servers can be merged (usually without notifying players) to prevent whales from realizing that they are spending money on a dying game.
"Of course I bought the top tier battle pass! I've been in the Top 200 for PvP in this mobile game since it launched!" "Big fish small pond, eh?"

The Theory of playing a slot machine
Cashing out on it, only to put the voucher back into the machine with the plan to fool the machine in thinking its a new player and will reward new player. So you do this constantly in and out and back In every few hands.

Keeping them interested, but never even considering anymore. An unwanted back stop.
“Flicking the lure on to the surface of the water, but pulling it away before the trout can get it.”
e.g. Not taking calls or returning messages; not returning texts; but still seeming ultra friendly.

I watched my friend message an attractive women on social media then, removed the messaged immediately after it was read.
I asked why did you do that?
He responded that he was fly fishing.
