Post by @dankshard • Hey
I'm gonna be a bit harsh and long:
First off, I truly believe $BONSAI is the best thing that has ever happened to Lens. However, I'm starting to get a bit

- Yes! Agree!
- I know what you mean, but I think this will wear off to a noticeable degree in the coming weeks.
It's an interesting new avenue, and can't blame anyone for trying to also to get something out of it.
Once the "flooding" posts (or the ones asking for astronomical amounts) don't get collected anymore, we'll see less and less of them.
Hopefully the meta turns to "no/free/follower" collects for default posts, and collectable in $bonsai for "high quality content" (I'll leave it to the individual to define for themselves what that exactly is)
- That’s why we need tipping really.
Minting is the only way to “earn” right now so it is over-indexed.
Tipping incentivizes such conversations, at least thats what I see on Farcaster.
That’s my .02
- I posted the same few days ago…
Was nice and fun the first days, but now?
Come on….
- I totally agree with you.
This was also my feeling the last few days.
Let's stop the greed 🙏
- I agree on your main point, but where I disagree is that we need yet-another place to talk about "crypto, tech, DeFi, news, markets, lifestyle, global trends", etc. I think this is the big tension with Web3 social. Its main utility is permissionless earning, but that encourages relentless shilling. Most people don't have a good sense of when a post should even be collectible. I think widely adopted tipping would go a long way to solve this, but that doesn't seem to be happening, unfortunately.
I have no interest in seeing posts about where people are vacationing, or what they're eating, or who they're voting for. We have Instagram and Twitter for that (which I don't use), and Web3 apps should **not** be trying to replace those, IMO. There won't be mass adoption until there are novel use cases, unique tooling, and unmatched earning opportunities.
- In my humble opinion, we're still early, everything you mentioned will naturally unfold. Right now, we're experimenting to discover the best channels to reach the right audience
- Agree with you 💯 we need more news, tech, defi also memes
- We need more
