You’re a developer building a new token-based product. Your goal is to acquire users for your product. You’re considering an airdrop as a tactic to do this. User A History of not selling airdrops immediately. User B Sells most airdrops immediately. You can only airdrop to one. Which one do you choose?

This is false - I am a voracious mini-app user (just ask the @bracky and @ponder teams) and I love trying new things. For example: I checked out Circus and thought it was cool but I don't need yet another token launcher, much less on SOL. Betrmint was also cool but I have zero interest in minting podcasts (they are fine in their web2 distro lane). The only reason I sell most airdrops immediately (hi, User B here) is that I am trying to survive in this world. Working on it. but to equate "getting users" with "whether or not I'll sell" is false and disingenuous. living proof of that, bud.

You don’t have to convince me. You have to convince the developers.

Just brought up this point to @six - why not consider the Rewards top performers? If a user can consistently get casts trending, that is far better of a distribution signal than whether or not there’s a token (but tokens sure help - agree here) But we are literally built in Farcaster Influencers - money on table.

We already pay people for being good at casting separately.

Not so sure about that really. For some it's a lot easier to become trending because they have the right friends. Also the rewards are actively gamed (like eveything), e.g. check @dickbot mentions he's caught up in some rewards farming ring since the auto replies earn people points Instant selling (as they may, for whatever reason, it's theirs) is a good indicator someone isn't likely going to care about you / your app
