I hear you, don’t worry! We always planned to work on it, we are just still trying to get off the ground. It’s early days. I’d rather give creators 30% of 1000 subscribers than 70% of 10. Hope you can bear with us while we navigate the early growth phase 🙏

At last the debate arrives at our hidden presuppositions!

@vijay believes that a 70% cashback parameter will promote more participation in AF than an e.g. 30% cashback parameter, and therefore will produce more revenue overall for *some* channels.

I believe the number of subscribers in my channel is a result of *my* hard work, not $ALFA games. I don't need the gamification - my game is delivering cold, hard content 👊

So this is why I'm annoyed that my work is being potentially discounted down 70%, and why @vijay is annoyed *his* work to build an active subscriber base is being discounted by me in turn.

Specifically, the 70% parameter would need to consistently bring in 2.6x more subscribers with the e.g. 30% parameter for @vijay's argument to hold. Who's correct?

I think he and I are on the same page here -- it needs to be a configurable parameter which each channel can play with and discover what works best for themselves.

I don’t think you’re incorrect. I have pretty strong conviction that early adoption of new crypto products is driven by speculation, and the more cashback, the more speculation. This is a growth strategy. Maturity of our platform has always included a plan to ensure this amount is configurable, it just wasn’t selected for the Day 1 default.
