@base contributor #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

What’s an opinion you have (about crypto, and maybe also broadly about life) that you think most of your followers on Farcaster would disagree with?

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.

I understand but we're being overly simplistic. 

Many times the market decides the target audience and trying to control how ppl behave in an open environment is like trying to catch water with your hands. 

And if the project is over funded then a farmer spending time on it isn't the worst allocation of capital here.

Using it like the target audience will use it is valuable, using it in the minimal way possible to qualify for an airdrop and then moving on to try to get a dime from the next over funded project is not.
