Are there any benefit to belonging to project or token community these days?

[Tir3d_king]

One of the things I hate to see the most are those projects who come out first claiming to be community focused projects, but once it's time for shared benefits, most of the allocation goes to a selected few when the rest are left to share the scraps...Some of you should already know what I'm making reference to. There are only a few communities that really offer benefits to their holders and it makes me wonder, what's the use of a community if it doesn't put the interest of it's members first? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

This is the usual quote for all randomly generated new tokens and 'projects'.
All of them are community-oriented and offer stability, opportunity for investors, privacy...

The better question is, do any of them solve an existing problem and offer a more efficient solution?

This your post is better describe from the perspective of hamster token and cati token that became dust to their community participants. If you invested money in the development process of the project and participate in the community then your share of the token will be good after the pre sale of the project. But if you are not part of the term and only a participant in the community then anything that you see in your wallet, you have to take it because it is free token given to you for joining the community carrying out some task for them.

And that also depends on the total number of participants in the community. If the number is large then the distribution will small to all but if they are few then you have a large share. NOTcoin participants were not much and that was why the participants got good share from the token.

In project's defense, there are few (if at all) who has genuine interest in project, and most are there just for sake of piece of pie, so projects do what they need to do — I.e, try to figure out the genuine ones and give them allocation and not to them who are there for sake of rewards. It's only fair.

You can look at Uniswap airdrop back in 2020, they rewarded everyone with airdrop who had traded at least $20 on exchange, and they didn't bother to filter because everyone who used exchange was genuine user as there was no retrospective airdrop trend back then, and people weren't farming projects.

You are right crypto is full of such communities and sorry to say If you are referring to any specific community, then mention that, please, as I did not get what you are saying but as a whole I understand a community should think about their members. Like any other crypto platforms they must allocate some airdrops, bonuses, and rewards to their active members and nowadays almost every other community is doing that except few.

So all we can do is avoid those few communities and if you are not joining more than one then that's a mistake because depending on one community is not right.

So, the context is about airdrop allocation, then? I consider participating in forum discussions part of belonging to a community. Even if you don't make money from that you get a lot of benefits such as learning new things, getting help from technical enthusiasts if you find yourself in trouble, keeping up to date with the latest market trend, etc. Sometimes I know a new project from people asking whether they should participate/buy their tokens or not. While it's rare that you find a worthy token to buy from this, it's easier to filter than searching on social media, where they bombard you with ads/paid posts.

I totally agree with you. It is sad when projects say they care about their community but only help few people. This breaks trust and ruins the community. When benefits are not shared fairly people feel used and unhappy. Real community focused project should care about all its members not just few. Community is valuable when it treats everyone equally and gives them what they deserve. If project does not do this, we should question its intentions. We need to make sure projects do what they promise.

Of course, we should be angry and even condemned those projects that built a strong, big and vibrant community that made their projects really popular and then we are shocked to see that community members are actually getting breadcrumbs in the end. Well, what comes to my mind is, of course, HAMSTER KOMBAT. Projects like this should not be supported at all as they are just masquerading in white robes but are actually robbers of our time, effort and even investments. Unfortunately, it is so hard to tell and see which of the many projects right now can be doing like Hamster Kombat so we are left with no guidance but just speculations. We certainly do not deserve the SCRAPS they are offering.

Tbh, I believe it would be fair if projects allocated more tokens/incentives for whoever contributed more to their development. After all, you can't say some likes and retweets from accounts with less than 10 followers are as impactful as some tweets with 1 million impressions. The problem happens if they're not transparent about this or change the rules whenever they feel like it. Especially if they hyped community allocation so much but the result is the opposite. CMIIW.

What members you are pertaining into?
-Investors or Bounty hunters?

If you are talking on investors perspective then it would really be that a shit thing that you will really be making up some investment into a project on which it does have that
shit tokenomics yet these are primary things that you would be able to see on the time they do make out some presale.

If you are talking bounty hunters then it will really be just that right that you shouldnt really be expecting too much on how these projects will really be giving
into its community specially to those who do spread out awareness.

[Sim_card]

If you are part of the community who created the project to extort people, you will definitely benefit huge when the presale is done because you guys are the ones in charge of it and you are the project community. I read it in the other forum on one of their thread, that Trump family/wife said that whether their token makes profit or loss, their family own profit is 75%. You can see that there are insiders of a project that must benefit higher. Airdrop participants are the ones that are used to popularize the project and receives dust payments.

I think most of these new projects don't really consider the users/participants as a major part of their project when it comes to profit wise, leaving them with nothing after wasting their time and efforts. And also, i doubt if those that are employed directly to help manage/promote some of these projects are compensated enough. Rather than building community strength and trust, it's quite disappointing that so many projects coming up today prefers to make money and dump the project like it never existed.

It's difficult finding genuine projects this days that put the community first. The truth is, these projects are only interested in the real investors, that is why at the end of any project, they channel the rewards to the insiders and maybe early backers. @joniboini is right about focusing more on forum discussions. At least here, you will earn both the knowledge and financial benefits without wasting time and energy on worthless projects.

in almost every community there is always hierarchy for us who are not part of the higher levels of course this is a problem as it is unfair especially if we are the ones who gave in more effort than the higher ups but yeah it is unavoidable that there will be the vip ones treated as such for the bare minimum at least they should limit it and not give everything to the vips

if a project is mostly directed to its developers then i will not really call it a community based project

a community based project should listen and cooperate with the holders and members to improve the project hierarchy will always be present but if majority of the benefits go to devs then the project is a hoax and was created solely for the developers in the first place

[bayu7adi]

For me, token allocation is important, but there is something more important, which is performance... we can see unfair allocation, but if only the performance of the team and developers can be a special consideration, I think investors will still get benefits... and I think that is better than having to lose.

The point is that I see a project from how it can succeed in the business model it designs, because we all know that the fundamental aspect of a coin is performance.
