the reality: tipping and social engagement tokens are consistently and ruthlessly gamed by noise generating farmers who don’t give a fuck about the creator economy. 

and their bullshit drowns out the creators.

I’ve never managed to articulate it so clearly but I agree strongly with both the promise and the reality. 😞
