Warpcast

ok, maybe i wasn't clear enough.
i don't sell any of the airdrops i've received from farcaster — they're all just sitting on my warplet and not going anywhere.

but i don't like having my miniapp library full of stuff i don't actually use, so once i claim an airdrop, i'll usually delete the app if it doesn't feel useful for me (why would i have a walletconnect miniapp, for example?).
same goes for following accounts — i don't like following people or products i'm not genuinely interested in.

that said, farcaster really encourages you to claim your airdrops — you even get a notification for it.
so my question is: is it bad to complete the claim steps and then delete the apps or unfollow the accounts afterward?

airdrops are from apps trying to get users. 

if someone is consistently not using apps and selling airdrops, i suspect devs will not be excited about sending them tokens, unless there is a compelling reason to be convinced that you won't do it this time.

Right but let’s say you received a token for a sports betting app, and you don’t like sports or gambling, so you ditched it for USDC to tip out to other casters and to use elsewhere in defi. Then an airdrop for wallet connection and a network you have been using for years excludes you. Tell me how that makes any sense?

It's history of selling *multiple* prior airdrops immediately or shortly after, there's only so many users that can be targeted with $ amount so it's a balance of trying to reach other potential users too

These airdrops are targeting potential new Farcaster users/community (not retro airdrops at all)

Again, this does not track. I received Bracky and sold it almost a week later after seeing that it wasn’t for me. From the moment I sold that Bracky, I haven’t received another airdrop via Farcaster until MONAD which I kept. 

In the end, I could care less about small airdrops. I’m just saying this is very poorly conceived.

Didn't dig into the data but I already see that you were on the higher airdrop recipient list right after bracky

Right. I did receive $2 worth of Higher which I sold on the same day as Bracky. Because I didn’t want some be mention. Again my only two sold airdrops. As I said, since Bracky I have sold/received nothing (except MONAD testnet coins). And how this could demonstrate anything related to wallet connect or celo is beyond me.

In any case, I’m over litigating this. I’ve been here since the beginning and I’ve learned that you just have to let Merkle’s terrible ideas run their course and then they’ll backtrack and change course a dozen times.
