"Merkle just helps its friends"

How many times do I have to repeat that most users and developers on Farcaster did not know Varun or myself prior to joining Farcaster.

And in some cases have *become* friends because they stuck around early on when no one else cared. We've spent years with this people socializing on this social network. :)

Don't conflate something that's earned / built with cronyism.

I lose brain cells every time I read another piece like the ones written by @artlu @ghostlinkz.eth @geoffgolberg  

Like pls just write about what your concrete proposed solutions are. Everyone here knows what the problems are. You're not some gigabrains revealing the lost city of Atlantis to an unsuspecting population
