There are several reasons why projects choose to implement retroactive measures:
Recognition and Reward: Retroactive measures serve as a way to recognize and reward individuals who have contributed to the project's growth and success in its early stages.
Retention and Loyalty: By rewarding early supporters, projects aim to foster a sense of loyalty and incentivize continued engagement and participation.
Community Building: Retroactive measures can help strengthen the project's community and create a positive atmosphere by acknowledging the contributions of its members.
Fairness and Equality: Retroactive measures aim to address any perceived inequalities that may have occurred due to differences in entry points or participation levels.
