Recommended read: "Why The Community Is Not the Product" by @beylin is an unflinching look at how token incentives can crowd out intrinsic motivation in communities. I've come to similar conclusions via a different route. The author doesn't mince words: "I will state plainly that if you’re building a community and intend to use a token to try and introduce extrinsic incentives, you will likely fail, and your community will eventually die (albeit perhaps extremely slowly, sustained by the energy of token holders who are incentivized to believe a dream which cannot ever be true)." [...] "In the absence of intrinsic motivation you have something else… like a company, a non profit, an ecosystem, an economy... But without intrinsic motivation, I would argue that by definition you do not have a community." https://m.mirror.xyz/GNrZCiNqsf23JBLF3e4fwKxO4UmLa8t5SwQYDuOqcdc
