on today's Farcaster dev call @dwr.eth repeatedly stated that the #1 priority is to improve the quality of content on the network I think he's wrong. Let me tell you why. (disclosure: I told Dan i was going to write this. i hope it spurs some debate) the #1 most important priority is for Farcaster to become more onchain "quality content" already exists in other places and there's no reason or benefit for it to come to Farcaster unless there's some uniquely onchain elements that vastly improve it and tbh most of the content that gets lots of engagement on CT is polarizing debates that the FC community hates the world doesn't need another place to yap about the NBA; it does need better ways to wager, play fantasy games, get access to bts content the world doesn't need another place to yap about what you cooked; the world does need more ways for foodies to get rewarded for sharing great recipes the way to win is by using onchain to change the paradigm and lure people in with the benefits as they emerge

as a content creator migrated over from web2 world I find myself in a bit of a dilemma vast majority of fc users are here for onchain activities with speculative elements minority are friends who vibe i continue to share what appeals to the minority and scratch my head about what would appeal to the majority

i'd like to contribute better content. i feel there's a massive disconnect between warpcast and the outer internet. it just feels icky to leave the client to find content (most likely in multiple tabs - multiple domains) and then come back in to share it, post thoughts about it. that's a lot of work. bots could help a lot in this area where they take sources outside and recast it here because those topics from the outside helps in starting conversations. @dwr.eth

I like the idea of content bots a lot. Question is how to make it interesting without feeling spammy.

i was just wondering how it would work if someone built a bot that casted links to short form video from insta/youtube/tiktok wtvr, so ppl could have a unified warpcast feed to consume that content and also chat about it *here*

maybe a telegram group chat where people can send links, and then a bot casts it to warpcast? telegram app can handle the moderation logic + referral rewards for users that get genuine engagement on the content that they share why would users do this? i haven't fully thought it through, but one reason is that users w a smaller following can get on the radar of a larger audience versus sharing the content directly from their account
