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

Like that hot take. I think the positioning your pointing out is catering to a (1) content consumption mentality vs. (2) a shopping mentality.  I haven't really found my content niche here (I lean towards X still), but I do find that frames has brought me here curious to see what I can purchase/support/explore. Def two different types of behavior.
