not really sure I understand the whining about the pro subscription along the lines of “it’s expensive if you don’t regularly get $100-300 weekly rewards.”

- it has zero effect on reach, if anything it’s just not too useful before more features are shipped.

- weekly rewards favours lower follower counts. there is a guy regularly top 10 that posts MJ photos and chatgpt platitudes, you can do it.

to me seems like not a big deal if you don’t wanna subscribe, not much downside.

I have been so tempted to run the analysis on my acct v others just to show this is not true. Like actually pull the numbers and show how many more posts I make and likes I get.

I saw someone today repeating that weekly rewards favours big accounts, just bizarro world opposite of reality

Point 2 is not well understood and it drives me nuts

personally, i just want to support the @farcaster team  & protocol

oh totally agree, but also there’s just no downside at present to not subscribing. so overall doesn’t seem like a big deal to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

it pays for itself even in tier 6 of farcaster weekly rewards: 3 USDC

3 x 52 = 156 

and they’d have a little left over

gotten on it the last ~2 weeks by just basically casting photos of my garden in the /gardening channel

yea, I think it is a very friendly sub in this way.

Or you whine just a lil and someone donates you the funds so you can join in 😜 🎩
