"why is farcaster's user growth slowing down, even reversing?" many people that $DEGEN and derivatives brought to the platform weren't users, they were locusts. they came, extracted what they wanted and left. some stayed and became valuable members, some were harmful. resources that could've been spent on improving the platform were redirected into battling all the negative side-effects. farcaster didn't thrive. it survived. don't get me wrong, i love these experiments — degen mindset is builder mindset — but if you're doubting farcaster based on naive data points, you're gonna have a bad time. maybe this is not the right place for you at this moment. and that's ok. however, if you accept we're in the early phases and there are still many roadblocks to overcome, so much left to build (and sunset too), and that it's you who can shape its future, you will be much happier. farcaster is what we make it to be.

degen is the reason why many people came here, but the algorithm disfavors many newcomers and they end up returning to a place where you have more visibility.

Do you have more visibility on X or Insta due to better algo, or because there are many many more users 🤔 Personally, I've got more visibility here... plus higher quality engagements Yes my followings activity is affected by market prices, but this will be the case for most of the crypto community for a long time imo 🤷

Plenty of 200k+ with way more followers, engagement, and visibility than me... plus I spent 5 months in the realm of shadows with literally zero engagement. Definitely earned it because @dwr.eth even blocked me on Twitter for asking about my "shadowban" a whopping two times. Anything else? 😘 Also, why shouldnt the people who took the time to come here and build first not have more visibility? Why should people who came because they heard there was money to be made be given free handouts?
