Bot and farmer ruined everything
Back then it was pure interaction and honest working
People farming with 200/400 accounts 🤣 1 project can change their life, crazy work bro tbh
back then it was so easy to get five figures.
now u need a thesis and three spreadsheets just to get crumbs
At first the goal was decentralization
Now the goal is maximizing engagement metrics
evolution of airdrop farming is crazy.
