Stumbled across @marmo.eth’s walkntalk video & had to give him a follow. Valid points yo lol. @pichi I think you’d enjoy this rant as much as I did. https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/WQrlE2ZKRKVQ/walkntalk

I agree, camera time, selfies in daily context, and walkntalks are all high value points that I am immediately drawn to & more likely to follow/engage with! The bot/spam activity is rampant & there’s a level of accountability that comes with showing face! Also agree with your sentiments on the unintended negative side effects of the reward system. Hyper monetization is indeed a slippery slope that we’ll have to be careful navigating!

yes, this was a point i was desperately trying to make was pretty much ignored by the powers that be crypto people generally believe the way to make people do things is to pay them in crypto it's so hard to explain to them that people do things for the love of doing things and it's nice and equitable to pay them to do the things they love doing it's not that the payment makes them do the things the payment represents gratitude for the things that were done out of love for better or for worse most people post on and consume social media because they enjoy doing it not for any goal of blowing up or making money that's a very small minority of the user base the reason why base is so much more successful in its narrative which people mocked so intensely the "base is for everyone" narrative is that base wants to put the crypto parts in the background to change the default to onchain but just as you don't talk about using cloud computing when you're doing something on google docs you shouldn't think about crypto when you're using the functionality it's just there in the backround part of the reality playing financial games with people ranking them giving them crumbs and then making them wonder how do i get more of those crumbs pitting them against each other with leaderboard dynamics that creates an angry feed it may drive up engagement in the short term but it's opportunistic and then people crash out hard because the message is that they suck if they can't put up good numbers the message is literally YOU ARE NOT AS GOOD AS THESE OTHER PEOPLE i think that's an odd feature of this moment in time while people used to secretly think things like that now they're definitely saying the quiet part out loud that people with money and power more valuable than people without money and power it's one of the most upsetting things about this moment but i think we get back to who we really are our oneness and togetherness with art with music with creativity with spirit with soul that can break through all the hyper-financialization it can break through all the hardened models that say this is how you stack up in the hierarchy someone just created out of thin air

Would you consider reuploading this as a native video? The mini app adds a bit of friction to view it and it’s so worth a watch. You capture the emotional side of what I’ve been trying to write about. https://paragraph.com/@pichi/the-algos-just-not-that-into-you

Verbose lol yet very welll stated for the most part! Insightful, and I echo many of those same sentiments! Best we can do is be discerning, intentional, optimistic yet critical, and aligned with our passions & purpose as we venture forth.
