negativity towards "airdrop farmers" is misplaced and biased. hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people all over the world have decided that doing microwork for protocols is their best path to economic prosperity. that is incredible and should be celebrated. it's on us to enable them to contribute positively.

I certainly disagree. It's a sign of incentive misalignment if this "micro work" which provides no positive value is a path to economic prosperity for anyone. I think it's similar to the SEO-ification of the web. Search engines = net positive, SEO=net negative. Tokenomics=net positive. Airdrop farming=net negative

I don't have a refined position on this so I'ma try and push back. If someone uses their time to farm and it provides protocols with users even if they are temporary is it ok for early projects? Time is valuable after all. What is positive value for a project? Just using it and providing liquidity could be positive.

It provides usage data and distribution to the protocol. Are you literally missing the entire concept of why protocols do airdrops? What do you think it’s for? lol

You're essentially giving remote work to debug testers. They're quite capable of valuing their own time against the local currency and expected value

I don't agree with your point, and I will explain why. I will start with SEO, as I have been a part of this industry. But first I would like to highlight the difference between some shitty/low quality SEO spam and real SEO strategy that is focused on satisfying users' intent.
