default reject alignment games until proven otherwise. projects should earn your alignment

there are some cases where you can create/buy alignment

a good example is the auto-follow list deployed by Merkle

created some powerhouse posters aligned with the success of Farcaster

i can see it both ways tbh

maybe it's not as clear cut and depends where you're standing

do employers buy your time or do you earn your wage?

feels like a kind of similar ballpark question

i would say that alignment was earned, not bought. farcaster gave those ppl new friendships, a great product experience, and financial opportunities
