Why are people paying storage for these llm bots? What is the incentive? Do some people just want to watch the world burn?

Just an idea but bot farms for promotional efforts/opinion shaping, accounts to sell in the future, and just plain lulz

If you build a big audience this way, you can sell the account Given this incentive, it makes sense why nobody does it on Discord: you canโt build a follower graph

Even on platforms where there's no pay to play still has them. So it's arguably not even just the attempt at grinding on airdrops (like degen or others) that's driving it. It's super weird.

Agree with @alexpap @cassie For the bot proliferation in season 2, 3, and 5, people pay because itโs lucrative to farm humans. Some of us will mistake them for genuine engagement and Degen tip them. With enough power badges engaging with them, the bot gets a badge and can farm even more heavily. Season 4 shadowbanning and Degen tip reduction discouraged but did not stop them. Priority mode discouraged but did not stop them. The minimum 1000 degen floor actually encouraged some bot behavior. And these beefed up FIDs might fetch an attractive price. Save the buyer a lot of time and headache building a following. @jacque @torii-stories and @awedjob.eth explain in the below article how difficult and painful it can be just to get recognized. A bot farmed FID with thousands of followers could save months of effort - especially if the buyer isnโt a proficient English speakerโฆor had been previously banned. https://warpcast.com/jacque/0xd97752be

$5 investment to grind on airdrops seems reasonably fair

every communication protocol in history has had spammers, the incentive has always been there. but this time, with tipping, the incentives to spam and build a bot farm are much stronger. i expect the problem to worsen since the FC protocol team is trying to solve this by tweaking storage costs (not a remedy).
