valuing the contributions of developers more than the contributions of users is a mistake, i think. i ran a web community once where i made the grave mistake of assuming that i was the leader of the community and could change anything i wanted. as it turns out, no, you can't do that, because users can walk out on you, and without users, software is worthless.

Bingo! Thats why nft communitys are shit and alot of people with ideas stepping into the tech sector fail. If you hit your targeted audience but cant stand and deliver that same consistency. Eventually the bright ones in the crowd get the brighter “ideas” because they arent on the inner circle or in a power seat and a lot of everything in tech is speculative. So because that power eventually becomes unbalanced for whatever reason there is, they either walk on or walk away. Thats what Meta is going through with their rebrand, vr headsets and metaverse. Now its causing them to spiral downwards. I mean thats my thoughts i dont claim to be right either.
