Degen

My hot take on the $Degen drama is that it will still be very hard to objectively define 'good' content and weed out farmers without new innovations or incentives. 

If you lop in ~$12K or 2 Million $Degen you get Max Allowance; that's the result of the Locking system that has been about 80/20 (Stake vs. Social Score) since S6. 

In S5 it was 100% Social Score, and the Influencers would mostly tip their friends and dump, so it was 'farming' of a different nature.

🎩 first, but I like being part of this experiment that is the Farcaster network. 

All of this social score/good users/farmer eradication is bad vibes. 90% of degen talk these days is about policing the tipping which has made it not fun. I know I had a real hard time deciding to lock again. But it’s even worse than bad vibes, it’s indifference. I say either a) scrap the whole police state and let it run wild like it was before or b) scrap tipping altogether, and keep a treasury to award grants to people the degen team feel worthy.
