My favorite gen art drop from 2024 so far

Still think this way: FC hubs need some incentive to provide client-agnostic infra. Also there should be a way for MM to make money in case warpcast gets outcompeted. Otherwise they are in a very tricky spot (trying to maintain dominance at all costs, to the detriment of decentralization).

Nihilism on the rise and many politicians love the cynical/disengaged populace that comes with it, even if it means bit more hate towards them.

Not an argument for dueling but there is a difference between how things will be and how things ought to be. Many people diverge on norms (ought to be) not necessarily predictions.

I wanna believe what you say, but also fear that distribution power will replace content quality as the main differentiator.

Yes, but would be even better if MM figures out a way to make money from developing Farcaster even if Warpcast is outcompeted by another client. Otherwise it puts MM, and thus Farcaster, in a tricky spot.

Yes, love to see the registration cost go down! Also how about having one single limit for all content types combined (follow, cast, reaction, etc.), and leave it to the client to prioritize one over another if necessary? The reaction limit creates mental burden for me at the moment.

I would have tolerated the limited content & engagement more easily if there were a sense of inevitability that FC will be *the* web3 social. Not so sure anymore given the many hard-coded assumptions into the protocol, the very nascent state of the tech, and centralization. Feels like 'sufficiently decentralized' is 'sufficiently crippling' at this stage. So until there is more interesting content, I am here mostly for the FC vibe checks and the drama 🍿

The thing is storage fees do not fund hub operators either! Basically no incentive to host data if you do not have your own user onboarding pipeline.

Reflecting on the NFT craze of 2021-22 nowadays and astounded by how the most virgin/normie artwork (both pfps and gen art) was accompanied by the most degen speculation. Truly exquisite.

To me this implies that if farcaster ever becomes successful it will perhaps happen through alternative clients that cater to niche use cases and thus not as much dependent on twitter-like large network effects. and this might lead to a network effect in aggregate...

What is your prediction: Will most of the new user onboarding happen through warpcast or other clients that cater to more niche use cases/communities?
