Is it possible $5 reward does more harm than good? 100 people get it every day which means thousands of DAU are not getting it. The 100 people might feel good and maybe it gets them to cast more, but is it at the cost 1000s feeling not good enough and casting less? I don’t know the answer and it’s just an experiment 🤷♀️

Yes! Extrinsic motivation vs. Intrinsic motivation. Tell a kid to practice piano, and if they "love" it (or can grow to love it) they will do it and go deep. On the other hand though, bribe them to do it with trifling payouts, like $5 (or lollies) and you utterly rob them of the potential of finding their intrinsic love with the activity, discovering a deeper inner volition to push through the hard stuff to achieve mastery* Concert pianist...or Caster. Same/Same, right? (*or so goes some of the social science research I read about that, think the book was "Drive" by Daniel Pink, 2009)
