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

What will drive retained daily active users if not for quality content? Examples of "only on Farcaster" that exists today that is driving retention right now? Sign ups?

i think jason is right in terms of chasing new paradigms with already established legos we have, to attract people to take advantage of, play with, build quality content instead of just porting other quality content here frames is a great example of "only on farcaster" – spiked adoption but not sure if it helps retention default connected wallets is also great example of "only on farcaster" so probably if we are able to create more identity x commerce games, we attract quality people to take leverage of these, and then they bring masses

Counter: /nook stopped building on Farcaster because of lack of protocol growth.

i don't think success of 3rd party clients is a good measure of anything right now; i actually agree with the warpcast-first strategy for now

Counter to Counter: /nook directly competed with Warpcast in form and factor. That approach doesn't work until we have volume. Infact, we want new primitives, apps, that service the same social graph in a new form and factor, which attracts new people, adds to fc graph degen did it by tying an identity's engagement to the financial incentives, not the best example in terms of audience it attracted, but the model works
