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

disagree. What farcaster needs is to help people willing to put in the effort to build communities on Farcaster win. This probably looks like these people putting in lots of time and work to manually curate/build/use tools around channels and in return earning $ now + converting users better + reaching more people, and the potential for $$$$ later when their community is worth something. This might look like frictionless subscription onramps to channels. Also potentially financial (give people the zora referral fees, tokens, manual algo boosts, ...) + status/distribution (rec follower algo)

i think you're actually agreeing with me: "earning $ now"

i echo the same content should be the real utility and the pull to get new users or existing users back for more. but to build 10x better internet communities - better than subreddits, tg/fb/linkedin groups, we shud iterate on primitives like decentralized channels that use onchain to 10x the value of these communities
