Degen

🎩 first, but I like being part of this experiment that is the Farcaster network. 

@jacek - I've been vocal about my thoughts on the state of degen, the bans, the claims, tipping etc, but complainers are useless and I personally loathe people who do nothing but bitch and moan. So for starters, apologies. I should come with something constructive.  (credit to @jdotfinn for very very subtly calling me out on that)

What I think now: (constructive stuff after)

1) Tipping is over. It was fun when it was chaos at the start and when the token was worth a lot. But that time has passed and tipping no longer works in this age of Degen. As long as there is a financial incentive to do so, farmers will find a way. And if you try and fight farmers, you'll hit a bunch of good folks with friendly fire. 

2) Trying to foster the 'right' type of content is too hard, too subjective and trying to tell people to tip 'authentic' content is a losing battle and comes off like behavioral nudging.

This is an amazing thread and some really great suggestions! Thank you for sharing! I really hope Jacek reads this and takes some of this into consideration.
