Philosophy

What is your primary drive, if any, to be a part of farcaster?

As a cynical/skeptical person, I can't avoid this feeling of money being a big part of it, which I'm afraid is toxic and leads to insincerity and a lot of brown-nosing.

I really do want this community to flourish for its quality of content and be a competitor to all the monopolized social networks, but this underlying thought of "will this cast be in line with what is tippable" is slowly ruining it for me.

It feels like cheating myself and my principles. No matter which way I go about it, income seems to always seep through as a motivating factor.
Sadly, I think the tipping culture promotes that here more than any other platform, and that it inadvertently distorts our output.
