Definitely a negative second-order effect of pursuing this GTM

Gambling, porn, and narcotics are all tough industries to work in because of the psychic damage prolonged exposure inflicts

I don't think there's any tactics that you could have implemented without facing some form of blowback

How these airdrops started -> wow there are teams within Farcaster and outside that want to distribute tokens so let's make it easier for Farcaster users to receive and get notified

How they are going for me mentally -> thousands of angry notifications and some people going after me personally

When money is involved... there is always going to be a winner and loser, and that carries emotional energy with it. Both euphoria and negativity. The line that separates society from anarchy is your inner moral compass.

For those with high emotionally fueled impulsive tendencies are probably the ones lashing out, but also the first ones to worship and sing praise when they are on the winning side.

Fact is, even if you win an airdrop or not, there is the glass half empty perception... here's some examples.

Got Airdrop: But it wasn't as much as the other person... or it dropped after I received it and I didn't sell :(

Didn't Get Airdrop: Why? Am I not a human? I deserve to be loved too :(

Small airdrop: But the airdrop value is worthless. Why am I getting pennies? :(

I think we as people just need to put our expectations in check and understand what/why these airdrops are coming and look at the potential of the projects. But hey, people like easy money.

Also, you are doing a great job btw
