Dirthippy on Warpcast

Zeneca 🎩 pfp

just wanted to share some thoughts from a fairweather farcasterer: if i'm being brutally honest, the thing that brought me back to farcaster the last two times is "money making opportunities" last time it was degen, this time it's all the ai coin stuff yes i do love the platform, i love the innovation, i love the high(er) signal to noise ratio here, the fewer bots, the nicer vibes, the infinitely better customer service, the cool shit and experimentation that's always happening, the curation elements with channels + a global feed, and on and on and on but i've *always* struggled with being active both here + on twitter, and for better or worse always end up defaulting back to twitter as it not only fills my "crypto info" tank, but also "the rest of the world" stuff i'm so bullish on farcaster and i *really really really* hope it succeeds over a multi-decade time horizon - and maybe my not being as active here as on twitter is not helping the cause - but well it is what it is, ty for coming to my ted talk

First, I would think your honesty is helpful - knowing what brings back the attention of folks with more social clout. That being said, my reasons for being here are different. For those who are creating and building, but don't have the social capital built up, Twitter can feel like yelling into the void. On farcaster, the channels (those "cozy corners") wind up being a smaller group of people with shared interests, and interactions are easier and more authentic. I enjoy it more than Twitter. I also think there is an opportunity for "channel entrepreneurs". Facebook has over 1B users participating in Groups. What is missing from these groups is ownership and shared upside for participating and growing the community or group. I believe this is a huge opportunity if we get it right. My belief is that, long term, farcaster is the place to be for builders and creators. Short term though...I think it is okay to cycle in and out until you see the value for your time and attention. 🤷‍♂️
