So far most of the major Farcaster incubated success stories, the things that have reached escape velocity (degen, higher, clanker etc) have been grassroots. 

Lesson in there.

At least these last big launches have been roided out after hitting on twitter, I can’t recall much about how degen or the earlier stuff was received on Twitter back then

Yeah actually agree with that. Farcaster doesn’t have the distribution  at this point
