incentivizing people to mint your art in exchange for $DEGEN tip thereby increasing your allowance & doing this on repeat ainβt it. you are either preying on people who need money or incentivizing people who only care about money. not sure what sort of power trip people are getting out of this. disappointing to see.

Really depends for me on the sentiment.. I minted a meme I made w a bot and gave people 1k degen to mint it. Not going to do that w my actual artwork, though tbh itβs not something I hate on. People gotta eat rn & not all of us have a collector base that will mint just bc they like the art so incentivizing is fine.

What I donβt like is the raffle thing w no proof of fairness, or the βI have x amount to tip out so shill me your soul/beg me wo begging me etcβ.. I get the hustle but itβs feels grimy af. But.. canβt expect something that suddenly has real world value to stay pure.. esp not when pple are behind screens.

free mints barely make artists any money unless they are in BIG numbers on zora(this is obv good for mass distribution). a lot of artists are using boost and top up gas themselves. i don't know how that helps them eat while incentivizing mints from people who want to extract value from the space and not give anything?
