on today's Farcaster dev call @dwr.eth repeatedly stated that the #1 priority is to improve the quality of content on the network I think he's wrong. Let me tell you why. (disclosure: I told Dan i was going to write this. i hope it spurs some debate) the #1 most important priority is for Farcaster to become more onchain "quality content" already exists in other places and there's no reason or benefit for it to come to Farcaster unless there's some uniquely onchain elements that vastly improve it and tbh most of the content that gets lots of engagement on CT is polarizing debates that the FC community hates the world doesn't need another place to yap about the NBA; it does need better ways to wager, play fantasy games, get access to bts content the world doesn't need another place to yap about what you cooked; the world does need more ways for foodies to get rewarded for sharing great recipes the way to win is by using onchain to change the paradigm and lure people in with the benefits as they emerge

Nawww @dwr.eth is right. Content is king. The world doesn’t give a shit about chains. We all just trying to survive and need an escape from it all. Plus, humans are inherently co-dependent. We need to connect and interact with one another with the least amount of friction possible. I don’t cast about crypto in general cause I believe there’s hope with channels + common interests. The blockchain + crypto stuff is a turn-off to most people. And for good reason.

i think my point is getting missed it's not about "onchain" - it's about what onchain enables like imagine if the person who gave you the best advice here automatically got some reward paid out to them, as well as the next time and the next time someone benefited from this content they created? https://warpcast.com/meganmichelle.eth/0x2782566d

The average attention span of the adult on the Internet is 8.25 seconds. All that matters is capturing that first. Configure the most principled payment systems in the world you want, but if that attention is not gotten there is no point to any of it. I’ve been in marketing for 15+ years. Every day it is harder and harder to show your product, community, whatever exists. I can’t even tell you.
