The biggest risk for @farcaster (and what to do about it)

Product marketing doesn’t matter in social products.

This is a terrible take. Product marketing matters everywhere. DEGEN as an example is janky, the documentation about how to use is it is non-intuitive, doesn't contain a single aid (screenshots or video walkthrough) for visual learners and took me several days to get my head around. Barriers like this slow growth.

This all happens naturally via word-of-mouth. 

So fundamentally a product problem. Make that obvious to existing users and they will do it for you.

Consumers don't want to read a manual to use a social product.

What is the product (intro & definition)
Why should you use it (features/value prop)
How do you use it (onboarding & education)
Make all that repeatable (word of mouth virality)

That last step is critical for a social app. I could get a normie to use farcaster, but would never try to explain tipping tokens.
