Farcaster is wrong about gambling and casinos. We treat the aversion to casinos like the aversion to nudity: a cultural virtue that people can acclimate to... but really it's more like the aversion to cigarettes. Some people aren't bothered by cigarettes, and thoroughly enjoy them while being fully aware of the risks. Other people can't handle the stench of cigarettes or actively battle life-long cravings. There is a substantial subset of people who will never "come around to it"--not because they disagree ideologically but simply because they don't want to be around cigarette smoke all day. I don't know if it's a majority, but it could be by association. I bet we'll regret the collateral damage from making cigarettes front-and-center.

the goal isn’t to have a community of people you like, the goal is to get lots of users and win. i don’t personally like that being the goal but that’s just how it is.

win what? most degens in one place? most money lost? most money gained? most devs? most DAU? most cited by news? most bots? most spam? most bayc owners? most profitable businesses platformed? there's a million markets to win, we're not stuck with just one

by all means, win then--just pick something actually worth winning. stupid games having stupid prizes and all that.
