⌨💸  we increased the Developer Rewards weekly payout from $3 to $5k! 

algo also got a tweak with a focus on daily and transacting users and a boost for higher signal users (e.g. Farcaster Pro) that interact with your mini app instead of strictly how many interactions or transactions

Oh snap. If I was a developer and my rewards were tied to getting more Pro users using my app, I would be targeting those users with airdrops and notifications.

Maybe NOT having a Pro Badge could really leave you out in the cold.

curious about crypto UX. occasionally fun(ny). Unfiltered thoughts and truths

I did not. I read that it would have no effect on algo or engagement. But this says otherwise.

It literally “does not increase your reach, visibility or rewards—as a subscriber”. 

I was accurate in what I said. 

I also reserve the right to change in the future!

“algo also got a tweak with a focus on daily and transacting users and a boost for higher signal users (e.g. Farcaster Pro) that interact with your mini app”

It’s pretty clear which users are prioritized here

Disadvantage for hypothetical airdrops from those devs? What else?

Most mini apps on the list haven’t done an airdrop and probably won’t.

The goal of most developers is to maximize users.

okay, i can live with that...

but if developer rewards are now increased by having pro subscribers use their app, that's going the shift the narrative. 

If i was a dev, i would start targeting those people and that now means people without the badge are at a big disadvantage for things in the future.

Paying for pro subscription does not increase your personal rewards. My statement was accurate.

maybe not the first two but adding the tweak to the dev rewards algo contradicts the 3rd … or maybe I just don’t understand English anymore
