reply guys

You’re a developer building a new token-based product.

Your goal is to acquire users for your product. You’re considering an airdrop as a tactic to do this.

User A 
History of not selling airdrops immediately.

User B
Sells most airdrops immediately.

You can only airdrop to one. Which one do you choose?

Drop it to everyone - some of those people will instant sell, some will find value and hold

Drop it to only people who don’t sell - you just created an army of angry fudders actively rooting for your project to die

Option A is obviously the better option

This is not what most developers doing airdrops think btw.

we simply let the market forces sort that out lmao

it's the difference between $hype and things that are happening here atm

Hype airdrop was highly correlated to trading volume which means revenue for them.

all that implies is that teams should think of more sustainable revenue models that users are happy with, a win win so to speak

i have no problem paying fees on a best in class product i like to use frequently

To be clear: developers are currently considering mini app usage, onchain activity, etc. sell history is only one criteria they consider

We are not just giving them a list of “never sellers” and saying you should target these people.

this is the crux of the issue tbh

if farcaster supported airdrops were determined strictly based off of who is using the (already built) product, we wouldn't even be having this convo

simply link it to miniapp usage or whatever like most normal airdrops and it's no problem

Sure, that we are 100% in agreement on. 

Too many teams that do token first, pray they will figure out a revenue model later (this doesn’t work)
