why are we, as purple app users, missing out on all the big CT trends? not only that, but missing out on massive meta shifts that are happening on OUR VERY OWN CHAIN how could this be? yeah, listen, i donāt know how many times i can say this: there are 5k of usāit has nothing to do with the tech, it has nothing to do with cultureāit has everything to do with the fact that there are 5k of usā¦ this a unicorn app & there are 5k of usā¦ more than 2 years inā¦ and there are 5k of usāmade even worse now given the fc top funnel thesis is materializing with the frames upgrade culture? culture was the <20k FIDs acting wildly elitist towards newcomers all through february & march culture was shunning degen because it spammed your precious 5k user feedāthe only project that had sustainably brought in more users culture was ignoring big CT accounts that came here because ānew giants would riseā culture was letting bots dilute anything & everything meaningful, including engagement itself

this is exactly what happensā¦ we miss news, we miss opportunitiesā¦ people go elsewhere soon this bleeds into development.. then we lose devs due to lack of user growth then we have a brain drain & lose our critics & thinkers as engagement dwindles i have suggested ways to grow usersā¦practical & pragmatic solutionsā¦ as has many of us there is nothing else we can doā¦ they donāt want to listen to their users if daus do not growth over the next 3-4 months, if there is no UA, no marketing, no eco fund, no massive grant program, no affiliate program, no nothingā¦ the future looks bleak we all literally all betting that one app or one token goes viralā¦ that it breaks out & brings in new usersā¦ that is our bull caseā¦ with no help from the purple app, it all rests in the hands of a dozen or so cracked devs who are building here simply because of their ideological beliefs lord knows these devs are not getting enough recognitionā¦ carrying a unicorn on their back
