Comment (by antonela):

 I think that could be helpful to discuss the scope for this ticket. Gamify
 is a very ambitious word, and maybe is something we could achieve in the
 long future.

 As my understanding, the short term iterations we could do are related to
 the information we currently have. So, for example, a regular user has
 been using snowflake and always got a "0 clients connected". If there is
 no real-time feedback on it, maybe we should keep the explainer line
 ("Your snowflake has helped four users circumvent censorship in the last
 24 hours.")  and hide the clients' qty line.

 Seems like the experience described by arma at comment:3 happens on the
 first-time user's flow. If that is the case, then we can map that user
 flow and design a better onboarding experience. It could involve the idea
 about to have a checklist like, share with friends, x days using
 snowflake, qty of data transferred, and so on. Creating a [https://ui-
 patterns.com/patterns/BlankSlate blank state] doorhanger can be the first
 step for it.
