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?

Quality content is a no brainer, hard to argue with that. But, making Farcaster more onchain-y will give people a reason to post here. A good meme is a good meme, whether it's on X or Farcaster. How we interact with it should change.

most people chatting on farcaster have a job to be done, be it socializing, career advancement, promoting their company, making sales, etc. but it's a loose jtbd because a lot of it is just stuff you can do in a lot of places and what make it farcaster unique was who you are chatting with, in a narrow network BUT when users and companies built frames, they had jtbd to the max, they took the time to build something, invest in it, take it to market -- solve their jtbd and we've got something

For Farcaster, it has to be growth. If the new paradigm doesn't promote higher DAUs or more virality, it's not worth chasing. For users, it has to be entertainment. New paradigms are fun!
