Farcaster

How likely is it that @dwr.eth  will allow new users to upload videos? 
I hope @dwr.eth answer me.
What is Dan’s reasoning behind this decision?
I can think of two main reasons for this restriction:
1. Misuse by some existing users
It’s possible that some long time users have misused the video upload feature for purposes outside the platform’s intended framework. But why should new users bear the cost of such misuse? This issue can be easily managed through intelligent monitoring, without the need to restrict access for the entire new user base.
2. Infrastructure costs
Uploading videos, especially on decentralized platforms, is costly in terms of both storage and bandwidth. If the goal of this decision is to control infrastructure costs, this issue can also be resolved through a simple solution like a subscription plan for users who want access to this feature.
With such approaches, it seems possible to manage costs effectively while also ensuring greater fairness in granting access to new users.

The ranking system on Farcaster, in its current form, presents a fundamental challenge to fostering meaningful interactions and strengthening a culture of collaboration on the platform. In Farcaster’s early stages, due to the limited number of users and the simplicity of its structure, it was possible to directly interact with prominent users even dear  @dwr.eth However, as the network has grown and ranking algorithms have become more complex, the current system has been designed in a way that newer accounts (especially those created in the last six months) are automatically categorized as “spam” or low-effort by default.

This issue is especially severe for individuals who were early participants in the crypto industry, have achieved significant accomplishments, or made substantial investments in the ecosystem. Despite their ability to offer critical and impactful insights, these users are often sidelined in discussions due to the inefficiencies of the ranking system. Consequently, this system indirectly reduces high-quality participation and demoralizes valuable contributors.

The primary problem with the current approach lies in its excessive emphasis on quantitative indicators, while ignoring qualitative factors such as the depth of shared content, the influence of ideas, or the expertise of users. This approach has turned the ranking system into a barrier that hinders innovative voices from being heard, rather than a tool that facilitates meaningful interactions and constructive dialogue.
