it was symbiotic Frames don't pop off without the existing hype building around DEGEN with crypto twitter saying "they're just giving away $100s of dollars to each other via tips of Farcaster" DEGEN making people feel fomo for not being early to Farcaster set the perfect stage for a great product launch (Frames)

As I recall, frames frenzy was due to ease of minting free stuff, especially the genius like-and-recast-to-mint idea that blew all the records out of the water. Then, the genius one-armed bandit frame that gave out free $degen poured gas on the flames. That success got users' and devs' attention, immediately focusing on monetizable use cases like commerce.

skeptical then and skeptical now, e-commerce is one of the most optimized parts of the modern web do not think any sort of in-feed shopping experience will replace the very good experience of going to a retailer's dedicated website

so the idea is an attractive (usually young) person will livestream the things they shill, their fans will get some irresistible discount (or early access) it's all frictionless it clearly leverages fomo, scale, and lack of alternatives. my mental model is QVC meets Kylie Jenner in the same app that handles my banking, subway pass, restaurant purchases and cat videos
