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.

1// I completely agree that it is important to protect the ecosystem and promote quality and commitment, but I also believe that the process should be fair and balanced for everyone. I understand and share the vision of building something special, but it is crucial to recognize that the interactions in this community are diverse and authentic, and many people who genuinely contribute have been negatively affected, which harms the rest. The problem with deciding what is "quality content" is that it is something subjective. What for one person may be valuable, for another it may not be, and that is what makes this community rich and diverse. I think we should look for more inclusive and clear ways to protect the system without feeling like a punishment for those who try to contribute in good faith, even if they are not experts or great creators. We all play a role in the operation of this platform, and our effort to support the community and DEGEN should also be recognized.

2/2 It would be great if the system could find a balance that allows us to protect what we have built, without discouraging participation or making some feel unfairly punished. We are all here with the same goal: to build something sustainable, and that requires an approach that values all members of the community
