This isn’t X, you gotta earn it
but it sounds like v4v...😭😭
Nah, if I'm returning value for value it shouldn't be under the pretext that "I will only provide this value for you if you also provide the same value for me / if you return value under my stipulations". The follow for follow thing is very Legacy Social matrix thinking. V4V is less arbitrary, more voluntary, and more free market oriented.
