Not me but I see a lot of whales are doing this, they are playing around and making profits off the funding rate.
If you just understand easily these funding fees, I believe you can make some profits on it especially if you are using different exchanges with different funding rate and that's the time you can make also profits but be careful, it's still risky.
It is one of ways to get profit from trading and the market but I agree with you, it's risky to chase profit with funding rate.
The market is changing quickly and funding rate is more slowly with its changing intensity, each 8 hours. If we can not close our positions from trading, to have profit or a bit worse but still good, to have a draw, it's more risky if we let a position opens just because we feel an upcoming funding rate will give us profit.
