PANews reported on February 12th that Vitalik Buterin commented on Fileverse's incentive model of distributing tokens to early users, pointing out that a sustainable approach would be to use revenue generated from charging some users to subsidize others, primarily compensating for the risks and immaturity costs of the early stages of the project. He believes that "mass token distribution" to expand user numbers easily attracts short-term users who are only interested in making money, which is detrimental to community quality, especially in social applications. Vitalik emphasized that currently successful crypto applications should focus their efforts on refining practically usable products, rather than creating speculative bubbles through incentive narratives.
