1/ Why is growing a consumer social app hard?

A functioning app is a necessary condition, but one you have 100% control over. It is not sufficient.

You then have 4 difficult problems to solve—at the same time. 

In order of difficulty:

1. Awareness
2. Onboarding
3. Retention
4. Interesting and entertaining content

2/ Awareness — how do people know about your app?

Also known as distribution. This is hard, for people who are naturally more building-oriented. It's almost always hand to hand combat early on.

I love what $FARTHER is doing with Twitter evangelism, but perhaps a step further. 

A $FARTHER or $DEGEN incentive to talk about Warpcast on FB, Insta, TikTok, ect. might be helpful to expand the reach of the conversation.
