Oh snap. If I was a developer and my rewards were tied to getting more Pro users using my app, I would be targeting those users with airdrops and notifications. Maybe NOT having a Pro Badge could really leave you out in the cold.

I did not. I read that it would have no effect on algo or engagement. But this says otherwise.

It literally “does not increase your reach, visibility or rewards—as a subscriber”. I was accurate in what I said. I also reserve the right to change in the future!

okay, i can live with that... but if developer rewards are now increased by having pro subscribers use their app, that's going the shift the narrative. If i was a dev, i would start targeting those people and that now means people without the badge are at a big disadvantage for things in the future.

Disadvantage for hypothetical airdrops from those devs? What else? Most mini apps on the list haven’t done an airdrop and probably won’t. The goal of most developers is to maximize users.

I worry that it will lead to 2 classes of Farcaster users and I dislike that feeling. It's really hard for new people to find their footing here and many will feel pressured to subscribe for fear of being left out.

1. You’re making hypothetical arguments 2. Reality is most developers want to maximize usage, but also want their users to be monetizable in some way. Tough reality: willingness to subscribe to pro is a good proxy for this. Not perfect, and smart developers will figure out how to expand their pool, but no one is entitled to a developers coin / offer / promotion. It’s the developers call. Saying that targeting should be dumber to be fairer is bad for developers.
