A couple thoughts on airdrop-gate: 1) I don’t think selling airdrops is inherently bad. But personally when I receive an airdrop, especially from a builder in my network, I like to support by holding + trying the app at least. 2) Farcaster started doing airdrops like, 60 days ago? So those who have gotten themselves on the “seller’s list” didn’t just sell, they insta-sold, several times. 3) App-makers are just humans dealing with a finite amount of tokens & an infinite amount of targets, & therefore are going to tick whichever boxes they think will help qualify the best target demo. 4) For most mini apps, the path to sustainability is attracting users who will transact in your app. If you’re insta-selling every $7 airdrop you receive, you are not sending a message to devs that you are likely to be a power user who has money to spend/trade/tip in an app. 5) You can lament the results all you want, but this is a very clear-cut case of “show me the incentive & I’ll show you the outcome.”

The fact is that not all Airdroppers always sell immediately, some believe in the project and choose to hold it (this depends on their finances). But Farmers always sell Airdrops immediately, even if their finances are good. Farmers are still farmers. Not everyone in this world is rich and can be an investor, most of them are looking to feed their families. Without them, how can we find good entry? This is all part of life, enjoy it You can't make everyone happy, but you have helped them to eat.

My take on this is simple: People should do what they want, but I agree with the holding to support even though sometimes just fucks us up 💀😂

One of the latest airdrop req is not selling 2 previous airdrops from Farcaster. It isn't clear about people who don't receive that 2 airdrop, are they not going to be eligible forever? because they're not selling/holding since they don't receive any airdrops.
