My 2c on Airdrop-Selling drama: + I worked with Merkle on an Airdrop. They didn't impose their criteria on us, they helped us to set *our* critieria. + Therefore, I think many people are mistakingly taking Dan's comment as a threat "from Dan" when, in fact, it is his observation of what Airdrop Teams will decide for their self-interest. + And I'd say Dan's point is directionally correct – giving airdrops that seem likely to be insta-sold is less appealing to Teams than the opposite. + However, selling does *not* have to overwhelm all other criteria. Eg, if someone is a power-user of many apps and tokens like @tricil.eth, this may be more important to a Team than whether he sold a drop or not. tldr: Dan's point clearly has merit, but Airdrop Criteria is a unique decision made by each Team (not by Merkle!)

Fair and based take. One bit of clarification here that I don’t expect these from Merkle I’m just worried about the practice becoming an unfair default. Nuance in that.

I've never seen this criteria before, I'll be surprised if i see it again.

I hope so man. I'm astonished there's defense of this. It's sell shaming, which is divisive not inclusive. They should have thought of a better way to do this.

I don’t really agree. “Sell-shaming” should really apply to people who actually BOUGHT a token Like, we definitely shouldn’t pressure people on how to deal with the risks THEY took But if someone doesn’t want to give you a token bc they think you’ll just go sell it… that’s not “shaming”. It’s a fair way for them to feel about it if they want

They've rewarded people who haven't sold airdrops and not those that have. How does that make those that have sold feel anything but punished for doing so? It's the same thing whether you've bought a token or whether you've been given it. The message is - you get rewarded for not selling but not if you do.
