How do you make someone feel like shit while giving them $40? 

Easy. Give them $25, then $10, then $5—and tell them the reason for their dwindling rewards is performance-based. Welcome to a rewards systems gone wrong.

I love Farcaster. I love the people here, especially @stephancill, @j4ck.eth  @mcbain and my new favorite climate caster @kaufman 

But this slow-drip discouragement loop? It’s not it. Feels like getting financially negged by some findom-y boss I never asked for. 

Rethink the incentive architecture @farcaster @dwr.eth @v. Do not double down by bifurcatating pro v amateur users—newsflash: what you want is more amateurs! armatures do it for the love. that’s like literally what the word means. This isn’t the auto-telic retention flywheel you’re seeking—it’s some financially induced vortex of emotional erosion. 

It’s USDdemoralizing

wait, is this because you dropped from #1 to #3?

i've wanted to discuss soo much
it makes no sense 
but it HURT SO BAD
like literally destroyed my 
(already fragile) ego

(see video)
i did discuss it in therapy
