9 months ago, everyone declared DeGods dead. This week we broke into the Top 5 NFT collections in the world. I've been on the team since we first had the idea in @frankdegods apartment almost 1 year ago. Here's my no-bullshit thread on the rise of @DeGodsNFT 🧵

Hey my name is Taylor and I’m the COO of DeGods. With the @DuppiesNFT announcement today... I just wanted to share a little presentation on how we are thinking about the next steps to scale our community & team. The future of DeGods will be decided by just one thing…

the y00ts engagement farming got out of hand. the reality is a lot of y00tlist apps looked very similar...super passionate people looking for a community to add value to. we wanted to make sure truly die-hard people who might get overlooked, didn't. 1/3

I see people over complicating their @y00tsNFT applications. Watching the team accept hundreds of applicants, here’s a dumb simple strategy: 1. Apply for @y00tlist 2. Share your unique value visually on Twitter 3. Refine your content until you get noticed by the community

piece of advice: if you haven't made y00tlist yet, don't comment on every post saying "wen YL 😩" or "check my app". it comes off as entitled & cringe. those accepted proved themselves by posting great content, having a proven track record or being a great community member.

Summer 2022 - DeShoeys Videos of DeGods chugging beer from shoes started to flood internet. This has sparked some controversy, with some critics saying "That's gross!" To which DeGods typically respond, "Check floor price, bozo". This tends to silence aforementioned critics.

“So DeGods wants to do a ton of mints?” No & Yes The problem with most Gen-2 collections is that they: - Dilute the value of the original Gen-1s - Usually don’t *actually* expand the holder base If we created “Baby DeGods” or “DeGoddesses” we would not be growing.

We want to take a “Marvel” approach to our new collections. In 2008, two superhero movies came out by two studios, Iron Man (Marvel) and the Dark Knight (DC) Both are regarded as some of the best superhero movies of all time, what happened after 2008 changed everything.

Over the next 14 years, Marvel created dozens of unique and iconic storylines, appealed to new demographics and built the most successful movie franchise ever. DC played it safe, they made a handful of good movie mainly “guaranteed” to please their base but not much more.
