Fairly certain it appears there’s zero animosity here towards newcomers sharing and listing their art for sale for whatever they feel like. AKA the way it

Do you think there is less animosity than on Farcaster? There is some there towards the newcomers, although not anything extreme. I saw some comments on here about the newcomers chasing after bonsai.
I partially disagree. The issue isn't that newcomers are trying to succeed—many of them do and rightfully do so—but rather that a kind of mania has developed. Everyone is overvaluing and sharing their content in hopes that the top 10-20 collectors, who seem to grab anything, will reward them with a bit of $BONSAI. This situation is clearly unsustainable, and when the hype falls, these people will leave just as quickly as they came. While many new, high-quality creators have indeed joined, many others merely spam posts. They focus not on disseminating their art and thoughts but on amassing some $BONSAI for just about anything they can upload from their phone's gallery. This behavior leads to the total oversaturation of the $BONSAI collection market and fills our feeds with spam content. That's the problem imo. However, there's not much we can do about it; the trend and narrative will inevitably change, whether we like it or not.
