Very controversial topic: If you’re not validating Web3 Game Nights & Crypto Twitter Spaces, you’re fueling a bot economy.
I say this from experience. I’ve worked with countless teams and communities to host grassroots initiatives. I urge community leads and sponsors to do their due diligence, because rewarding bots drains the value you’re trying to create and pushes away your most genuine, active members when they catch on.
Last year, we discovered and banned members of a Discord group farming nearly every major community game night. They were running 40+ accounts across multiple identities and capturing as much as 50%+ of the rewards.
And don’t even get me started on Twitter Spaces. They’re laughably easy to spot, yet sponsors keep burning money on them.
Validation for is simple: scroll to the bottom. If you see an excessive number of “Other listeners,” it usually means a ton of accounts are listening without signing in, and it's a telltale sign of botting.
Lastly: the more you give away, the more you need to validate. Big incentives often attract the wrong crowd. Keep it fun. Reward the real ones.
Stay safe out there, and don’t get your community ruined by bots.
I was asked to promote an “upcoming Ponzi game.” Quickest no of my life.
I’m not here for short term hype or cash grabs. I’m here to grow community. I back quality games and projects who care about onboarding people the right way, with trust, transparency, and long term vision.
