It’s frustrating how many NFT projects reward whitelist spots to those who flood chats with endless positivity and exaggerated praise, prioritizing noise over genuine engagement. This grind-for-WL culture attracts flippers rather than long-term supporters, creating artificial hype that often collapses post-mint. Meaningful contributions like creative ideas or constructive feedback are undervalued, while spam dominates. Projects need to rethink WL allocation by rewarding authentic engagement and value-driven participation to build sustainable, committed communities.
