why are we, as purple app users, missing out on all the big CT trends? not only that, but missing out on massive meta shifts that are happening on OUR VERY OWN CHAIN how could this be? yeah, listen, i don’t know how many times i can say this: there are 5k of us—it has nothing to do with the tech, it has nothing to do with culture—it has everything to do with the fact that there are 5k of us… this a unicorn app & there are 5k of us… more than 2 years in… and there are 5k of us—made even worse now given the fc top funnel thesis is materializing with the frames upgrade culture? culture was the <20k FIDs acting wildly elitist towards newcomers all through february & march culture was shunning degen because it spammed your precious 5k user feed—the only project that had sustainably brought in more users culture was ignoring big CT accounts that came here because “new giants would rise” culture was letting bots dilute anything & everything meaningful, including engagement itself

this is exactly what happens… we miss news, we miss opportunities… people go elsewhere soon this bleeds into development.. then we lose devs due to lack of user growth then we have a brain drain & lose our critics & thinkers as engagement dwindles i have suggested ways to grow users…practical & pragmatic solutions… as has many of us there is nothing else we can do… they don’t want to listen to their users if daus do not growth over the next 3-4 months, if there is no UA, no marketing, no eco fund, no massive grant program, no affiliate program, no nothing… the future looks bleak we all literally all betting that one app or one token goes viral… that it breaks out & brings in new users… that is our bull case… with no help from the purple app, it all rests in the hands of a dozen or so cracked devs who are building here simply because of their ideological beliefs lord knows these devs are not getting enough recognition… carrying a unicorn on their back
