Hot take: they nerfed allowances too hard and now no one can tip (especially not newcomers) which will tank people's interest. Discuss.

Completely agree. It's become too much of a whales game as does everything in crypto. It's hard to break in. I'm hopeful that after farcon they'll be dropping something to bring attention, and have rollouts regularly to maintain it. But rn the tipping nerf pulled attention away which has gone to Ham or Alfafrens

It does feel just like that. Starting to emulate the business world too much. Not about the work you do but the people you know in order to make it. I hope it's cyclical experiment while something more utilitarian and meritocritic is under development.

Which is fine and I know everything is experimental. I just see most of the recent moves (slashing allo, priority mode) as improving QoL for the big guys and making it harder for newcomers. Which is kinda the recipe for killing an app.
