The limiting factor for Farcaster’s growth is the supply of high-quality interesting / entertaining organic content. Most people who are focused on creating content optimize for networks with large existing audiences because while hard to break through, the upside is massive. Solve for X.

The interface could create opportunities to highlight quality older content, to reduce the recency bias and give further incentive to invest in detailed and quality content creation here, despite the smaller audience than elsewhere.

Twitter-like UX is useful because of real-time. The half-life of casts (even good ones) is short. Evergreen better for blog posts.

you're a power user Twitter is all about real-time. It's why it's survived despite all the Elon turmoil.

One day perhaps you’ll agree that lightweight blogging enabled by threads and longcasts to an enduring publicly indexable database permits creation of valuable medium and long term content, in addition to realtime short duration content. Being a reliable place to post high signal text attracts eyeballs, writers, and devs. A public goods version of twitter should swallow blogging and Q&A platforms and be a source of valuable tokens for AI training.

Requires a different UI approach. But definitely an opportunity to start a Quora skin for Farcaster content today.

Even without a new client, just making clear to people: look google is deleting accounts if you don’t log in for 2 years, twitter db is not reliable, substack will prob be acquired by verizon or msft eventually, your static site requires a credit card payment every year and frameworks you use need updates. just use fc to publish text and rest easy.
