all of this is useful 

my fear is casting will be like Duolingo

you have an incredible streak that you don’t want to give up

so you post to keep it

but eventually hate the app and everything about it

maybe after hitting a milestone you can get more stats displayed (eg 120 day streak, missed 7 days)

A fair point. Casting just to keep a streak alive is not a good reason for casting. There would be better incentive alignment if the streak required that casts meet some quality standard, such as being liked by the moderator or above some @airstack SCV threshold.

If that would be a requirement for what a good cast is, people would beg for likes. Anyway I don't even think the streak feature will stay. We already have tokens allowance and power badges to fight for.
