There's definitely a case for both sides here. On one hand, you've gotta reward the activities that actually drive revenue—that's the only way to keep projects growing and aligned with real economic activity. On the flip side, anyone who's been around long enough knows farming is basically inevitable at this point. Once there's yield on the table, it's game over; the bots and farmers will find every loophole. So the real question becomes: how do you design incentives smart enough to minimize the damage while still making it worth honest contributors' time? That's the actual puzzle.

At its core, it's still a matter of designing an incentive mechanism; it's not that complicated.

I knew it, this set of logic has long been played out.

NGL farming really can't be completely eradicated. Instead of blocking, it's better to loosen restrictions.

NGL farming has long been a Schrödinger's existence; you can't really prevent it even if you try.

NGL farming is just a vicious cycle; no matter how clever the mechanism design is, it can't stop hungry bots.

NGL farming is always an unsolvable problem; no matter how well-designed the mechanism is, it's all in vain.

hypothesis: we're basically trying to solve the byzantine generals problem but with yield as the weapon... bots don't sleep, humans do. that's the asymmetry nobody talks about lol

Basically, it's a zero-sum game. As long as there is yield, someone has to exploit it for profit—that's the fate on the blockchain.
