AntiShillPhilosophy - asastats/channel GitHub Wiki

The philosophy described below had been valid in the first 9 months of the ASA Stats project when there hadn't been any defined plans for the project's monetization. Our intention was to avoid artificial influence on the token price without a real/solid background as the token hadn't had any utility in that period.

As of July 2022. and publishing of the ASA Stats Utilization document, the following philosophy is abandoned by the ASA Stats.

[DEPRECATED] The ASA Stats Anti-shill Philosophy

At ASA Stats, we are anti-shill. This means that we do not want our users to hype the ASA Stats product or the ASASTATS token on Twitter, Reddit, Discord, or any other social media platform. We will never reward those members of our community who do. We believe products that meet the needs of their users will find an active and loyal audience. We have already seen this to be the case in the few weeks since ASA Stats launched.

This does not mean that we will not do appropriate marketing when the time is right. Nor does it mean that you should not share ASA Stats with your friends. In fact, if you know someone for whom ASA Stats would provide value, please tell them about it! Only official links such as the site itself, links within the site and approved Reddit/ Twitter posts should be shared. Organic, word-of-mouth audience growth is the best way.
