Does look like they just got caught up in making cryptobro scams though.
- api 5y agoSo here's the problem with this naive model... As soon as they start paying app creators, a bunch of hustle culture shonkwankers will git clone a bunch of repositories and spam a bunch of bogus apps just like they currently do with other artists' work with NFTs. Compensating creators will turn into compensating people who front-run creators and squat names and stuff. "It will be gamed. No exceptions." ... and my own new law: "The Internet is a dark forest." Announcing an opportunity to make any amount of money is the equivalent to announcing your existence in a literal dark forest. You are instantly overcome by tidal wave of spam, scams, and fraud.
