i don't think you necessarily need the funniest or smartest people on farcaster for people to want to spend their time here

when you get to know someone, even their more menial content becomes interesting to you

the people who's content i enjoy the most on farcaster aren't famous or necessarily exceptional in their fields or even post about a certain topic. they're just normal people (often like-minded peopel) who i have gotten to know over time and now feel emotionally invested in

i don't think it's necessarily trivial to reproduce this outcome, but i think it's definitely worth exploring

While Farcaster is densely packed with talented smart people, the content I like seeing most is often from Farcasters I met IRL at meetups like Farcon or surfing in SD

Amazing what meeting in person even once will do to transform your perception of and appreciation for them online. Especially since you can read their casts in their actual voice/cadence. 

Hard to get that from an anon pfp. Farcaster is a social network! Kudos to @ted for really leading the charge here, and excited for Farcaster Fridays this week @matthew!
