Honestly, the transactional focus of this app depresses me endlessly. I don’t even want to connect a wallet, or be part of a ‘crypto-community’. It feels cut-off, gamified, worse than Twitter, in a sense, almost perverse.

In general the system here is for tipping to content creators - which is awesome, and it's hard to hate the idea. Obviously, many people started to use it as a tool for profit. I guess you see this everywhere now. Use this 'show fever like this' feature. It works. It needs time to learn your preferences but it works!

‘Content creators’. I am not sure what that means anymore; everyone is a ‘content creator’, posting has been monetized one way or another already. Anyway, I really doubt this app is ‘the way’. Like you say, something like this gets perverted quite quickly: when $-signs appear.

It's ok. I understand, but you can say the same thing about the NFT space, and art on blockchain - and some of us stayed true to themselves. Here is no different. There are bad actors, but there are honest artists earning some real money by just posting their art online. I don't see this part as a bad thing.

Yes, exactly the things of the NFT space that I was always sceptical about. Can you briefly explain to me how this ‘degen’ is transformed into real money? I am to uninterested to look it up online (also, I tried, but documentation was hard to find).

You earn it from tips. There is a list, you can see your points. You claim the airdrop at the end of the month. You convert it to ETH. You sell it for fiat.

They are distributing 70% of the coin's supply to users of this app. I think around 30% of it was already distributed. You can claim yours at the end of the month at https://www.degen.tips/airdrop2/season3 375 $degen - here, $10 for you. You don't have to claim it if you hate it, tho! ;)

To me, it sounds like the algorithms of the other apps are replaced with the promise of income – the whole idea is to keep you on the app. And as you say, you don’t believe it will last – what then? Jump to another novel platform? It sounds exhausting to me! But good for you, Kisz, I wish everyone the best!

It's a bit tiring, yes. It won't last (thank God) because the supply will end at some point. "Jump to another novel platform?" - I came here before I heard about this degen thing. I loved the app without the promise of earning money. You can't say I'm here because of it, and I will stay when it's over :>

It’s not about you personally, but about the ‘community’ flocking from one platform to another that feels tiring to me. But then again, perhaps I am just getting old, hehehe

X is the worst place in the internet. From the bottom of my heart: I hate it. I can't blame people for looking for alternatives.

I don’t blame anyone for looking for alternatives for X, we all agree it is a dreadful place: it was one of the reasons I came here!
