If you don’t like the “make money” consumer value prop for Farcaster—what do you think is better? Reply with a suggestion and rationale. Like replies that resonate.

Developers and network effects. I always thought farcaster would hit PMF once > 2 very different apps built on top of the network (twitter/reddit) reinforce each other. I thought paragraph conversations came close. Receipts interesting but fitness may be too small. Has to be social. I think options are - communities (discord) - niches (Reddit) - discovery (Pinterest) - search (real time Google) How about the Warpcast team maintains Warpcast but takes a big bet on client #2? Another completely line of thinking: why did Bluesky grow? Seems the answer is pick a massive and cultural stance (they picked political left). Can’t think of one that works tho, right is taken by X, left is bs, you have crypto but that’s too small.

Bsky chose the correct growth axis (political) and did not have the baggage of crypto (post-FTX).

So the question is : how to extend crypto and Ethereum in an easyer way for the public. Right now I think warpcast is highly complicated for a non crypto person. Maybe rodeo could give some directions : --> warpcast needs better UX design --> networks with the most traction include a vision of social design , new forms of interactions between people

Another interesting choice I noticed on Rodeo is that the "following" count is not immediately visible on users profile. (Easy to implement). The result is much easier follows, more rapid growth. it suppresses small toxic behaviours such as "I shouldn't follow more than I'm followed". (This is part of social relationships design.)

you follow selective accounts when you deeply care about what you consume it’s not to maintain the follower:following ratio

It can be, at some point the algorithm was using this ratio to determine the interest of a profile. So for a new user it is a delicate (and not ideal imo) balance. Yet what you say is true also in some cases. Keep in mind that there are multiple aspects in a phenomenon that are not mutually exclusive.
