Agree with @toly ~$5-10 airdrops don’t incentivize people who want to use apps with a utility token, they incentivize farmers who dilute the quality of discourse in the network The degradation to content quality is not worth the DAU bump imo (empty calories) https://x.com/aeyakovenko/status/1928829488043098226?s=46

That assumes the targeting is naive instead of sophisticated. That’s the flaw in this argument. Only way to grow in crypto is money. Various tactics, but there’s no non-money version that can scale. Believe me, I’ve tried for years.

Agreed on the latter, I think that’s why Toly is proposing going after DAO treasuries. I don’t necessarily agree but the common ground is money games The problem with $5 a pop airdrops is that you’re not winning reluctant high quality crypto natives (the $$ isn’t enough) nor non-natives (it’s tacky)

Agree the KOLs aren’t incentivized but non-natives like them. The non-natives that think they’re tacky are just anti-crypto.

Have any data points / anecdotes to support the latter argument? Having trouble seeing a pipeline or new non-natives that will convert to this app for $5 in esoteric coins I think anti-crypto and caring about taste are orthogonal — lot of non-natives on the fence that would get polarized away by a circus (pun intended)

The airdrops are part of an overall narrative of making money on Farcaster.

I would destroy any targeting you could do with zkTLS. “Sophisticated” is for when you’re picking weed in your espalier or w/e the fuck big boy
