A utopia typically ends quickly (it's inherently doomed to fail, as the word's etymology suggests). The thing is, people will probably move on, growing tired of the constant changes in such a short time. This indicates a clear lack of direction, or at least a lack of communication. We had a very generic cast a few weeks ago saying, "We heard the community," from someone who only discovered the paidgroup channel a few days ago, even though it's been around for three months, and who listened to a handful of people in just two casts. How is this "hearing the community"?

What caused OpenRank to completely fall apart and get shut down in one month? The lack of communication is what frustrates me. If you don't have the time (and I believe you don't), hire someone to handle PR.

TL;DR: Staking and incentives should exist, but they should not be linked to having allowance.

If the token is to grow and the target is people who stake 1M or more, these people who are not in the game today due to lack of time will have an incentive to enter the game with less effort. That's it, isn't it?

The coolest thing about allowance is curating interesting people, whether they are well-articulated individuals or people doing interesting projects within the community, thereby improving and strengthening the entire community. Those who come in with money and little effort won't have the time or patience to do this curation (with rare exceptions) because they simply don't do it today.

These individuals need to get into the game and have incentives, but that shouldn't be the definitive factor in who should have allowance.

IRL: Creative Director who makes movies and ads.

Would be cool if they lowered tipping amounts and then staking just gave you a multiplier based on amount + length locked up for

Unfortunately I don’t really think the engagement farming ever really went away, people just had to go about it in a different way. Openrank was still very easy to abuse, there were people with multiple accounts in the top 100 that could all be linked back to the same wallet 😬

This is nice but again, it is a step down from the quality content we are aiming for. All the engagement farming and giveaways will probably come back.
