bc it is annoying and won't work
no we should socially guide away from shilling
feels backwards to be like "sorry, too much conversation in the wrong place"
now that everyone is here and engaged
:)
ignoring me here
and all of you were in discord and twitter DMs
when I was here talking to myself
i am old enough to remember (a few weeks ago)
all we are going to do is getting in the way of what everyone else wants to naturally do
the artists are going to feel any less nervous about the leaderboard
and I am not sure if we move this chat to memes-chat
i have a hesitation to say "we are not chatting in the approved location"
here in this chat
we have good conversations happening
hmm dunno
Anyway, on to my thoughts
My main feedback from this experience is the tyranny of the leaderboard. It dominated my experience of the community this past 2 weeks
I see artists feeling very worried that they are not "doing enough" to get exposure and a bit of chat about shilling
I would like to suggest that we consider locking the Main Stage for comments - no more comments
and ban shilling in the Memes-Chat
so that all there is are art submissions, chat about pieces within each submission, and the leaderboard
So all artists can submit and relax. They have done the thing. There is no need to worry about "anything else I can do for visibility"
Not 100% sure about this but interested
bc it is inevitable
we need to be comfortable with it
it will inevitably be part of the process here too
so this is part of the process
before we thought it was the right time/place for them
cross seasons
who have waited for several months
we have had meme artist
yeah, well, having minted 300+ of these, it is natural that some things are more obvious to me earlier and sometimes you have to wait 48 hours to discover them too lol
What I'm saying is that "it was obviously you that Articulate's card would be minted" and it very quickly became "not obvious to Articulate what was going on"
my job is the meme card contract
even if it makes someone sad
all the way to the left
with taking that slider
i have zero compunction
bc I think it should not be a meme card
if I want to vote against something
just the 'voted against it" needed clarification
oh i know i am not complaining
I think what I can offer is a unique perspective on being on the other side of this brand new process
It's not dogma
I'm totally ok
AND ALSO I would think that my experience is interesting - purely to think about, not to worry about
would make no difference
whether it selected monday or wed
your card is part of years worth of work
zero downside
all upside
it is all positive for the memes
and since it was 100% obvious that you would get selected on wednesdasy
it would be cool to mint the topically relevant card
i thought that on monday in tariff wars, etc
and anyone can feel whatever they like but putting words in my mouth is different
there is a negative side to the slider
if i wanted to "vote against it"
you are doing the thing that you said others should not do
nobody voted against it...
This was 100% my hope and dream
Thank you
I love that the team didn't vote for it ... until they voted against it
That's all
Normal stuff I think
and that is now fixed
