It nearly did make it it’s post. (“An inadvertent community driven bug hunting bounty program for IC”). I will articulate why I did not make it it’s own post with all the rationale here (as opposed to a provocative new post).
At first, an free airdrop doesn’t really cost end users any real money. As the NFTs begin to percolate the eco-system, people begin to pay real currency for acquiring NFTs. For example, i got a free nft (starverse) for my participation on dscvr.one. At the beginning, on the entrepot.app, the lowest price of one of those nfts was around 0.8 icp. Currently the lowest price is 1.89. Doubling of the price from nothing. This begins to cause a sense of entitlement (“it’s mine…I own it”) for the average end-user. Imagine if they log into the account one fine day and they don’t see that NFT. This causes anger, fury etc. They will begin to blame someone else (nobody buys the argument…“but it was beta”). They have lost something of value.
All participants do understand that crypto is inherently risky. But they also expect that reasonable protection be afforded to them on any platform. An ICAntagonist can make significant noise. i.e. " oh that dfinity foundation…200 cryptographers…and they FORGOT to put in basic sandboxing that WE have known for years…". Unfortunately logic (the fact that we have it in the roadmap) cross raw emotion and logic, in that case, has no chance. It can cause a catastrophic cascade with the right shills.
The reason that my articulation is here as opposed to top level is that most people will not bother to read a post 50 levels buried. But concerned discerning teams will… and hopefully take action as appropriate.
