farcaster should implement subscriptions to accounts you follow

allowing for exclusive subscirber posts (like twitter/X) AND subscriber chats (like friend tech)

subscription is token model that you have to pay monthly, and can trade on open market

could use eip-4885 or eip-5643 style models

just a thought

I like the tech angle of creators being able to derive revenue from subscriptions, e.g., posting exclusive alpha that exists in a paid newsletter today.

I don’t like the idea that the best this discussion space has to offer could become gated by money, leaving only low and mid content open.

I’m conflicted on this

To expand: Reddit has (had?) some awesome niche content with solid research / alpha, and was never $ gated.
