"why is farcaster's user growth slowing down, even reversing?" many people that $DEGEN and derivatives brought to the platform weren't users, they were locusts. they came, extracted what they wanted and left. some stayed and became valuable members, some were harmful. resources that could've been spent on improving the platform were redirected into battling all the negative side-effects. farcaster didn't thrive. it survived. don't get me wrong, i love these experiments — degen mindset is builder mindset — but if you're doubting farcaster based on naive data points, you're gonna have a bad time. maybe this is not the right place for you at this moment. and that's ok. however, if you accept we're in the early phases and there are still many roadblocks to overcome, so much left to build (and sunset too), and that it's you who can shape its future, you will be much happier. farcaster is what we make it to be.

I don't believe some of that data. Maybe bots are leaving or maybe my experience is different, but I've never had more subscriptions to /success than over the last month. At nearly 500 active subscribers right now.

I think for some of us who has been in the crypto world awhile have seen a lot of coming and goings, startups and flops and rug pulls.. and assholes raiding taking what they can get causing havoc and leaving .. and every time these companies try to stop people/bots it hurts the “little”people and the raiders get away with it laughing every time.. I would be happy to be proven wrong..

degen is the reason why many people came here, but the algorithm disfavors many newcomers and they end up returning to a place where you have more visibility.

Can't agree more. But I think there is one thing that needs to be added to this b/c there's at least one user I know who isn't using Farcaster like before JUST b/c of this reason: Me!: I had left degen game long before I stopped using Farcaster, so I was still using Farcaster. But what made me think other way? Using Farcaster as your single social network makes you fall behind what's going on in other areas but Base chain & Farcaster itself. I was almost unaware of what's being built in other chains days that I was using only Farcaster, so I replaced it again with X. Personally I don't find incentives like degen or moxie or whatever of that value that keeps me blind on every other improvements. I hope FC can gain users of variety of fields of interests so we can have engaging & fruitful discussions in here.

Reward System Focused on Simple Interactions If $moxie tokens are distributed based on interactions like likes, comments, and recasts, users may be incentivized to focus on simple activities just to receive rewards, rather than making meaningful contributions to the platform. This can undermine FC original goal of fostering constructive discussions and producing high-quality content. To truly grow and improve the platform, the reward system needs to be redesigned to encourage users to create real value. Emphasizing Quantity over Quality This reward structure encourages users to increase the quantity of their interactions, which could lead to a rise in low-quality content. This, in turn, can degrade the overall user experience on the platform and drive away loyal users. Instead, there needs to be a system that recognizes and rewards meaningful contributions that enhance the quality of the community. It is time to look around with a broader perspective
