christopher on Warpcast

welter pfp

my unsolicited 2 cents is that farcaster feels and is a tight nit community, rather than a network that's a good thing, but also a bad thing for the network? maybe? every time i open up warpcast, every cast is either referencing some new "iykyk" meta, or about crypto and as someone who isnt as interested in crypto as i used to be, i use fc less, because fc casts are very crypto/meta heavy, and if you dont know the meta, you're out of the loop if i had to ask Dan one question, it would be if he see's this as a positive or a negative, does Dan want casts to very crypto centric or more broad/different topics?

It’s not that the content diversity isn’t here — we did the work last year to surface this. The main issue is that the value prop is still low. Also I think we’ve strayed too far from ownership, which was web3’s best argument across all the demographics I surveyed..

Agree about ownership. The value prop is getting stronger though: social white space, earn money, thoughtful conversations.

Farcaster strong value prop is that it's a cheap/easy way to get data about content and tokens. There's also a weak value prop over onchain identity. Fundamentally weak value prop in ownership and monetization. The network is also too small (today) to monetize, and you don't control the means of distribution.

Are we talking value prop to founders or value prop to users - or both?
