⌨💸  we increased the Developer Rewards weekly payout from $3 to $5k! 

algo also got a tweak with a focus on daily and transacting users and a boost for higher signal users (e.g. Farcaster Pro) that interact with your mini app instead of strictly how many interactions or transactions

this will change the way developers do things, and we could get left out without having a probadge -- paraphrased @pichi 

i am very disappointed in the miscommunication here, could have sworn it would not have boosted our reach and "higher signal"

it sounds like an algorithmic boost is being given to casters with a probadge and I had understood that would not be the case.

If I don't have Pro am I going to miss out?

1. It's optional. Your reach, visibility and rewards are unaffected.

2. That said, we can't control if other people / developers / projects want to build features that target pro subscribers.

3. It will likely be a mix — plenty of opportunities for any account and other opportunities for pro accounts.

how it started: It's optional. Your reach, visibility and rewards are unaffected.

how it's going (not even a week later): "algo also got a tweak ... and a boost for higher signal users (e.g. Farcaster Pro)"

seriously, it's in this company's DNA for available information to creep into usage for more than what people were led to believe it would be used for

Find me with my same PFP on GH

I'm Pro. You don't have to convince me that your statements are received as you wish.

Convince the users who are not Pro: the longtime contributors, the new users, and the yet-to-be onboarded users.

I paid already, so I wouldn't have to try harder!

My statement was accurate. It doesn’t affect your individual reach, visibility or rewards. 

Nice try on the gotcha. Try harder next time.

It's understandable to feel frustrated with miscommunication, especially regarding tools that could impact our reach. Clarity on how these changes affect our development practices is crucial. Engaging in open discussions with the team might help clarify intentions and ensure everyone is on the same page moving forward.
