One thing I’ve realized through all of this: you can’t make everyone happy. No matter what you do, someone will find something to complain about.
I’m rewarding the community with whatever I can realistically afford. Plans changed along the way, I used part of the creator fees to acquire 4% of solana:B5YTUMqSnwzztWHWmzAzHApeRy6cuGEx49Bidt4kuH8w , I’ve been using those same fees to build and run this entire system, cover infrastructure, and on top of that distribute real $ANSEM back to the community.
I’m literally calculating every dollar that comes in and figuring out how to stretch it as far as possible. None of this would have been possible otherwise.
There’s no VC, no angel investor, no big treasury behind me.
Just creator fees, a small team, and a lot of building.
So I’ll keep doing what I can, sustainably. I’d rather build something that lasts than burn everything trying to make everyone happy today.
