Trying something new -- text-to-video AMA about Farcaster

Ask any question about Farcaster -- protocol, strategy, priorities, Warpcast product -- nothing is off the table.

I'll let the questions accumulate today, weighted by reactions.

Will answer a good chunk of the questions in a video tonight.

Great idea Dan. Hoping that I don’t touch a nerve lol. 

Can you expand on your hesitancy to add video for all users?

Previously you have said:
- It doesn’t do well on the platform 
- it presented legal liability issues

My position is that the reason it hasn’t performed well up until now on the platform is because it is effectively gated from new users. If a video creator from Tik Tok or IG shows up today, they will quickly realize this isn’t the place for them; because they can’t share videos. Preventing videos for all hinders platform growth more than you might think. We’re trying to recruit a wide scale audience. It’s 2024, people use video for everything. Think; breaking news, funny memes, etc. 

So to clarify my question, can you expand on the thought process behind restricting videos to already established users?

They don't give a shit. Well mybe about new users NOW because they're bleeding users - but I'm an OG low 5 digit FID and this has been the worse experience on an app
