> While this giveaway mostly worked, it's clear that there will be decreasing returns and massively increased effort required. Why? Starting in the last week or so, hordes of fake people were beginning to come in, far beyond the capacity of Keybase or SDF to filter.
Keybase still doesn't see the hordes of real people and their Eternal September effect on the platform as a problem. I'm not saying they have to see it as a problem - if they want to tell investors "We increased our userbase N-fold by attracting a bunch of people who are just here for the free money," that's their right. But for those of us who were previously on the platform for all the things Keybase used to advertise, it seems we're no longer the target market.
