Agree with @toly

~$5-10 airdrops don’t incentivize people who want to use apps with a utility token, they incentivize farmers who dilute the quality of discourse in the network

The degradation to content quality is not worth the DAU bump imo (empty calories)

Love this discussion. Really great insights from everyone!

I agree with Merkle team's premise that highly targeted airdrops are a meaningful marketing strategy. 

It's a key part of the "sovereignty economy", where users actually have agency in how they are targeted.

SSI is the key that Farcaster is missing to close the loop, but they are working with the right mechanism at least!
