i'm sick of being constantly faded away by the protocol design first i was faded away from cool features by unavailable Warplet now i need to pay $120/y to be a good user on this platform people will say like "hey there's no need to use Pro" but in reality we all now that this design creates tiers → which creates inequality just like rich people live next to favelas only to never interact with each other and again, this design isn't made to make the product better for the users, but to extract monetary value, cuz the protocol lacks revenue otherwise

sure thing. money isn't evil by itself and actually money is the only means that one can stay in business. and i would most likely by Pro as well, but i'm casting from favelas, so no i can't. my main concern is that now that all the others have those badges, my profilw won't be trusted by the other users (especially newcomers)and the users i engage with. i generally thing pro badges would engage more with Pro badges an less with badgeless users. i would like more a design based on "earn the badge with your activities" instead of "buy the badge" — that would create equal opportunity. the new projects that launch and target their airdrops for the pro badges look to me like extractors too, while i'm also convinced it's the right way to to to boost your projects marketing. well there are side effects with every design even good one, so i feel like i'm experiencing the side effect, and it discourages me, in a way i don't want to cast, and spend time earning money.
