I almost thought I would give up on Cookie

I almost thought I would give up on @Cookie, but the official responded actively overnight, and the value of the SNAPS airdrop is unexpectedly high — let's briefly review the two recent controversial events.

Event 1: SNAPS points devalued in the Chinese-speaking region

Recently, I've seen many users in the Chinese-speaking community complaining about the Cookie SNAPS points activity.

Here's the situation: Everyone is spending time seriously creating content, writing long tweets, and using hashtags, but the SNAPS are increasing very slowly, with 0.001 per day being common; whereas in the English-speaking community, many people can increase several points just by saying 'gm😊', which makes the leaderboard rise. It feels like there is a different treatment for Chinese-speaking users, leading to a strong sentiment of 'the algorithm is unfair' and 'discrimination'.

Event 2: Controversy over Cookie OG airdrop

Many early active contributors from the Chinese-speaking region haven't received the airdrop. For instance, the #BlueBirdClub has over 200 members, and some long-time users with a lot of SNAPS are just running alongside. The actual coverage of the airdrop is only over 20 people, while there are thousands of users engaging daily, far below everyone's expectations for the airdrop.

Additionally, the L1 public chain @Somnia_Network collaborated with Cookie to organize activities on the leaderboard, but only the Top 25 slots were available. They advertised 'everyone can participate', but the airdrop threshold is high and the rewards are not transparent. Many community members who are seriously building feel disheartened and have chosen to withdraw from the SNAP activities.

I have strong feelings about both events. Many Chinese-speaking friends are genuinely invested in building, yet they are facing 'high thresholds + lack of transparency + internal competition', resulting in a strong sense of disparity.

However, the positive aspect is that the official response has been quick in the past few days, clarifying the issues regarding the Cookie OG airdrop and the Somnia activities.

Moreover, yesterday the founder @fwielanier also confirmed that the SNAP activities related to @sparkdotfi will continue until July, with total rewards exceeding 5 million USD. Currently, there are over 8000 participants, and the total number of SNAPS is < 4000. The estimated value of each single SNAP point is over 600 U.

There are still great opportunities for mouth grabbing, so don't lose heart; just grab it.
