Farcaster

zora, rodeo and interface all leverage public farcaster data to solve the cold start problem for their own private social networks, with their own follow & comment systems. 

Follows & comments in these apps aren't published back to farcaster.

is this a phase, or a broader indication of the long term incentives around apps leveraging social protocols just for GTM?
