How many people brushed $DODO and still didn't get the airdrop?

Because — the platform never tells us what step counts as a 'qualified user',

what we might see are the transaction volume and the leaderboard on the page,

but they are watching whether we are 'effectively bringing in new users', whether we have long-term holdings, whether we sell infrequently, whether we catch the ecological trends,

and preferably 😃 the last digits of the UID should also be pleasing.

We might think we are participants, early supporters of each #ALPHA project,

while the exchanges are actually just using each user to test 'who resembles the person I want'.

—

This is not just a DOOD issue, nor just a Binance issue.

Behind this should be a five-year-long battle for user growth —

exchanges, DEXs, L2s, aggregators, voting protocols…

are all using points, Alpha, airdrops to attract, retain, and stratify 'users'.

We think we are gaining benefits, taking advantage,

but in reality, we are being structurally filtered and marked for value.

—

So when all project parties no longer compete for all users and only select the batch they want to keep,

how 'deep' our brushing is, whether we are 'effective users', how clear our on-chain profile is, whether we can keep pace —

decides that what we get is not just the airdrop, but also identity.

And the rest of the people stay in place,

continuing to be the 'effortful participants who are always just a bit short' of scoring workers.
