farcaster rewards are nice because the payouts are relatively modest and it’s low stakes for the most part. there is no illusion (or rather delusion) of being a full-time creator here like there is for youtube or tiktok.

this is probably healthier for the vast majority of “non-professional” creators who simply want to be recognized for bringing value to the protocol, which imo is what leaderboard rewards aim to do.

N.B. despite my framing above, @gregfromstl’s original post was not about FC itself but rather ecosystem projects.

Farfaster rewards are modest but a great gateway to onboard people into web3 without trying to sell them on some dubious investment/get rich quick scheme. The plus is people can also build a reputation as being a real person.
