1/ Let’s Talk About Expectations in the DEGEN Community As we continue building DEGEN together, I think it’s important to address something fundamental: what we should expect from one another. Right now, DEGEN is one of the only platforms where someone can earn hundreds of dollars with almost no authentic engagement—just by reposting low-effort or spammy content. Platforms like Google Ads or Twitter would never allow that kind of behavior to be monetized, and it raises an important question for us as a community: why should we?

2/ The truth is, this kind of farming and value extraction doesn’t contribute to the ecosystem—it dilutes it. When people prioritize spamming over creating meaningful content, the value of the entire community declines. It’s a drain on the people who are here to build something real, and it’s not sustainable in the long term. At the same time, I recognize that we’re navigating this together. If you’re contributing authentically, whether it’s through thoughtful posts, helpful comments, or just showing up and engaging in good faith, you should feel valued here. But to make that happen, we need to set higher standards as a group.

3/ This is not about punishing people—it’s about curating an ecosystem where quality and engagement matter more than quantity. That’s the only way we can build something that lasts. So, as we move forward, expect more emphasis on encouraging authentic contributions and curbing behavior that takes advantage of the system. To those who are here to create, share, and collaborate: you’re the heartbeat of DEGEN, and this is about making sure your efforts are rewarded. Let’s set the tone for what this community can be—because we’re building something special, and it deserves to be protected. We’re all in this together.

Agree 100% with this. The economics on this are actually very simple - the more Degen flows to users that create impactful things the more valuable it becomes (and vise versa). Attention on Degen is great, but without the underlying value creation you're not gonna get Degen to $1 (and beyond). But it's not enough to *tell* people to tip others for valuable contributions to the ecosystem - we need TOOLS and INCENTIVES that make it easier to reward great content (and hard to extract value) - that's exactly what we've been focused on with /impact since day one.
