This lovely comment from @chriscocreated makes me wish for more sustainable ways to fund, organize, + preserve thoughtful curation work done by *humans* (not algos) in the FC ecosystem. 

Psychologically, the hardest thing about casting for me is that all my casts vanish into the algo-driven "exhaust stream," never to be seen or commented on again. 

I could compile topic-specific best-of recs such as @cameron's canonical advice-for-newbies article on a website (if I had sufficient funding for that work), but discovery would still be a problem.

There's value leak happening here because there's no viable "slowcore" + positive-sum path (AFAIK) to leverage the power of compounding for previous curation work.

What if I had a space to curate custom selections of great work in ways that:

1) reduce existing cognitive load for the curator (or at least don't *add* to it), and
2) maximize chances of discovery by interested readers at their leisure?

I know there are gigabrains working on this. Just thinking aloud.

This is very close to our long term approach with Ponder, we should chat!

Ponder

Yesterday we launched a beta version of the new Ponder web app, where we’ll be extending the best content from every channel on Farcaster 💭 

Here’s a quick 3min walkthrough of the curation mechanism. 

We’d love your feedback as we continue to mold the experience 🔊

Cool. I was impressed with the recent preview video for Ponder. I'll drop it here for reference. 

Will send a DC soon-ish.
