Some ramblings: Was bopping around Italy for the last 10 days, and I only checked WC a few times. Before traveling I was checking 10 times a day or so. Is this a good or a bad thing? Should the WC feed be more addictive or is it actually a feature that the client is not so addictive? Centralized social media is incentivized to make their product extremely addictive, because at the end of the day - share price MUST go up. I know Merkle has similar incentives due to private investors, and the fact that social networks must grow to be successful - but it definitely experiences less of this pressure compared to META, SNAP, etcā€¦ Maybe slow qDAU growth is a feature not a bug. 15 years from now, Iā€™d like to confidently encourage my children to use a client on Farcaster not Instagram, assuming it continues down the same path. Maybe sometimes, slow acceleration builds a product that is much more meaningful, lawful, and lasting than the alternative. Just zoom out. Maybe an opportunity for a new client?

gm gm! Ciao! Ramblings are great! I hope u had an awesome trip! Web2 algorithms that purposely addict consumers to doom-scroll should be in the past and not in the future or in web3 IMHO. Vacations are to be enjoyed in the moment with a casual stop to take pics; social media is entertainment, in few cases a learning tool for when not in vacation šŸ˜‚šŸ‘ŒšŸ½ These are thoughts from someone that grew up in an era of no mobile phone in high school. Have u seen the Facebook whistleblower post? https://warpcast.com/lawrenceroman/0x26264aeb
