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 system, seemingly controlled by an algorithm or bot like @botornot, focuses solely on quantitative metrics, such as account age or prior engagement history, instead of evaluating the quality of contributions. As a result, newer accounts, despite having expertise or valuable potential, are relegated to less prominent sections like “Show More” or are entirely ignored. Even when their messages are visible, negative labels like low rankings create a permanent negative record on their digital identity, rendering their efforts to foster meaningful interactions ineffective.
