Recently, I’ve seen a bunch of PFPs shouting "Membership = Brand Moat" again.
As I scroll through the blockchain, I think: honestly, it often looks more like a nightclub wristband.
Wearing it feels lively at first, but once the lights go out, all that’s left is a plastic smell...
Of course, there are a few that truly resemble gym annual memberships, which can keep people coming back to use the services, access resources, and socialize in the community.
My own judgment is pretty crude: I look at whether the money is spent on products/benefits, rather than on "attention fireworks."
