Well, it was use it or lose it everyday. So there’s that, and it kept people engaged on the app!
I had my favourite people I enjoyed tipping, like writers, artists I also tipped for Ukraine charities too. I would tip if the content was funny, made me laugh, or if that person was particularly helpful to me.
I did get into a bit of minor controversy, because I had a lot to give away, so I started doing daily “questions” around mindfulness to spread out my tips. Like “who do you appreciate in your life” or “what’s one thing you’re grateful for today” to 1. Diversify who I was tipping to and 2. Make people more mindful.
But others didn’t like it because they felt I was engagement farming (the algorithm at the time was more elementary, it technically would’ve boosted my engagement), and also people felt that degen should only reward “high quality” content that grows the network - unspoken etiquette. So I stopped doing it.
But I regret that and should’ve continued because it was still within my value system to do so. And it was also my allocation to give out, otherwise it would’ve been lost in the nether! 1 reply
