Imagine you post this and worked the whole last season to work your way genuinely up from 900 allowance to almost 4k with 10k Degen in your wallet. And now to receive 4k allowance you need a whopping 250-300k Degen staked. :) Nonetheless, it is what it is. As I've said before, some day we will have a SoFi experience that's not run based on how much liquidity or social score you have built. Happy New Season and Claim Day, frens!

Ashwini, I've just seen a great friend @danicaswanson lose the large allowance which she used kindly and wisely - it's yet another shock to see how poorly thought-out some of these seasonal changes are. It's great to give another OPTION for people like me who have a bit of spare ETH and want to use it to increase our ability to gift to others to "buy in" to allowances - but to penalize people who have worked long and hard and "played by the rules" - literally taking away with one hand as they give (the opportunity to pay) with the other is really quite distressing. Will write a long article about this in a week or so - I'd do it right now (yes, I know rage-writing is the opposite of empathy but I'm a work in progress) but sadly I'm way behind on a looming deadline IRL so must put most of my time and energy toward that.

Wanted to take a moment to briefly acknowledge your kind words and principled stance. I plan to respond in depth to the points you touched on here (and elsewhere) when my attention is freed up enough for what I want to say. In the meantime, good luck with your deadline. We'll revisit this convo in time. 💜

It's all a work in progress, and certainly not a given. I am grateful for all who have given generously (and I have tried to be among those). But what is more, and that is something I really think we should not forget: I am extremely grateful for the impact this creation of @jacek has had on the entire community. The tipping principle (which has inspired many alternatives) has proven to be an game changer. I have struggled in the past 3 years since I joined Web3 (on the way down from the last cycle's top) to support the artists I appreciate. I've done as much as I can, but this tipping thing has allowed me to do many times more than I could before. I like to believe that I have put actual earnings into the wallets of quite a few artists. I was not able to do that on this scale before. That, plus some other facets I have written about in my newsletter before, have entirely shifted the paradigm that art (and other content) is free to a paradigm that art/content is valuable and should be rewarded.

We can only adapt, learn and find our own ways to do the best. <3
