Not financial advice It's worth pointing out that trending onchain notifications do surface things early—in some cases. This morning we sent a notification around 8:15am PT about a new coin $GHIBLIFY created by @nounishprof. We had a bunch of people complain that this notification was bad and/or meant the coin had peaked. However, hours later, a prominent celebrity on Twitter bought the asset via Bankr. And the price increased. What does this mean? - First: not every notification will keep increasing in price afterwards. Many will gown down in price! - It does mean that our algo is surfacing onchain activity that many other people on Farcaster are doing. - Additionally, we now surface additional information about coins like the creator, the date created and the cast that created it (when available) - We're going to continue iterating on these notifications—thresholds to send, what information to provide—because many people find them useful. - If they bother you, you're free to turn them off

Dude you could have avoided all this drama by just offering an opt-in, rather than making the choice for everyone. Not only would you have saved *thousands* of people the (finite, valuable) time it takes to disable the notifications, but you'd have saved yourself the time spend dealing with all the negative feedback.

Plenty of people like it. Solve for the people who like and give the people who don’t an opt out.

My entire feed is full of conversations like these. Obviously plenty of people hate it too. If you really abhor giving users an upfront choice, and you're attempting to solve for the needs of specific user archetype, wouldn't it make more sense to have ways for users to self-segmemt by selecting what they're interested in (speculation, conversation, games, etc) rather than assuming you know what all the users want (you don't)?
