rodeo and zora deceptively create an illusion of distribution. it creates this meh game where users have to share links on other socials. the users are doing the distribution work. 

it's a jacked up incentive system that extracts more than it gives.

8/20 posts after this in my feed are all rodeo related

appreciate the thoughts and agree. i'm left with the same question as always: can this thing help me grow?

based on the fee structure and effort required, I'm not so sure about the value prop. 

considering the premise of visual diary, i'm happy to use it for a minute

Mixed. I like rodeo on many levels, great design, simple UX to collect, doesn’t try to be too many things, the gamesmanship of offers gets me to check the app more than I usually would. The quality of posts seems high at least for what gets served to me. But agree that the distribution model of relying entirely upon sharing links is kinda busted though I’ve found some good ones from feeed alone
