In my timeline, people without pro badge looks special now. How can I hide my badge? 🄲

An alternative client is probably the best option. IMO, since this pro is linked to the app no client is incentivized to show the badge even if it has the badge data, here is where the farcaster name starts to be a bit deceiving all of these rewards, and the pro feature is not directly linked to the protocol, so yeah IMO creates confusion of what exactly is linked to the underlying protocol. That being said, at farcaxter[.]xyz app level I doubt they will add an option to hide it, at least not so soon, especially if demand is low.

Soon you will see many spammy accounts holding the pro badge. AFAIK, most buyers are expecting airdrop, not real farcaster user.

Are you sure about this? We could probably check this - to pay $120 and be spammy seems… rather weird.

Their behaviors will looks like spammy, they pay $120 to get nft for future expected airdrop, but that's huge win for farcaster..

I literally saw a follow -4- f message from a badge holder like 3 min ago, I have no idea how many automated badge users there are but likely some automated accounts exist, to what extent this is true is hard to estimate without proper research. I don't think is super relevant because generally, these kinds of things unfold pretty quickly, in 3 months you'll know everything.
