I’m tired.

Everything I love about software: craft, care, community is being gutted.

AI slop PRs for airdrops. Fake activity to juice metrics for retro funding. DAO politics and governance favors. OSS reduced to a game of farming points and politics.

Crypto didn’t liberate anything. It just strapped a token to every soul and called it progress.

I vented to a friend. They said: "That’s not crypto. That’s money. Money corrupts everything it touches."

And yeah maybe that's the problem.

As time passes the case of a crypto critique becomes clearer and clearer. We need more criticism and self-reflection.

The direction is wrong.

My point is, money is the main motivator of many good things that happened and of course it's a good indicator to find out what people really need, for example, if no one spends money on current crypto games, it indicates 2 things:

1)there are another places that users are more interestsd to put their money, and market is shallow to have users with different interests

2)it's time for game makers to think what thay should do to change the industry to a more user-oriented one.
