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?

retention right now is driven by (1) being a cozy corner for onchain builders: -- which enables them to connect to get work done, collaborate, advance, promote, hire, gain product trials and adoption frames enabled distribution, product trial unlike anything before it (2) being a curious place for onchain degens to try to make a buck

There are very few new sign ups from builders recently. 2nd category creates perception that all the metrics on Farcaster are low quality. Consistent feedback from talking to users.

re: There are very few new sign ups from builders recently. then that should be the focus; we were crushing it on that and need to come back to that; making farcaster the best place to build/launch/etc before we try to be more than that
