many web3 digital artists have ditched @warpcast and are now focusing exclusively on x.

you might think, "so what?" but this actually matters.

these artists already get the tech and are deep in crypto culture. yet, they don’t care enough about farcaster to connect with their audience here.

the dev/builder-heavy culture on farcaster might be cool if you’re into that niche, but it’s still just that—a niche. and i get that you might not like hearing this, but it’s the truth.

for artists who just want to share their work, it’s exhausting.

the best product managers i’ve worked with as a designer focus on bridging the gap between tech and consumers, leaning toward the consumer side.

it feels like the farcaster builder ecosystem is resisting that approach, stuck in the dev mindset. maybe it’s because those deep in engineering often lack the consumer vision.

If artists aren’t feeling at home, it’s a sign the platform isn’t meeting their needs. Building for users is always about balance.

agreed. they've mostly said as much. my point was that if adoption and growth are on the roadmap, then people leaving the platform who "get" the tech isn't a good sign. maybe i'm wrong. maybe the warpcast team wants to stay niche. in that case, then it doesn't matter that the artists who aren't builders left.
