Just finished a top-5 Gamified episode of all time
- Wab from Sappy Seals
- N3o from Wilder World
- Fern from PoP all showed up to explain their side of SPICY topics
X. Wilder World’s $20M token buyback... bullish or bullshit?
@real_n3o came on to correct the record:
- $3.5–4M already bought OTC
- Several more million will be bought in the market directly
- DAO votes passed to repurpose NFT revenue for buybacks
- XXX% of revenue from upcoming drops will be used to buy back and partially burn tokens
Perspectives:
- Neo, Tony, Hustlepedia, Fern: "we've got to do something different, why not this?"
- Tatted, Gnoc, Kevin: "Cool if you're post-revenue and consistent"
- Sinjin, Jerry, Tatted: "Premature = risky or borderline Ponzi"

Wab’s take?
- It’s not a funnel. It’s brand priming.
- They're seeding seal culture across platforms and building retention first.
- He clarified this was done all for just a few grand and zero ad spend.
