Trying something new -- text-to-video AMA about Farcaster Ask any question about Farcaster -- protocol, strategy, priorities, Warpcast product -- nothing is off the table. I'll let the questions accumulate today, weighted by reactions. Will answer a good chunk of the questions in a video tonight.

Great idea Dan. Hoping that I don’t touch a nerve lol. Can you expand on your hesitancy to add video for all users? Previously you have said: - It doesn’t do well on the platform - it presented legal liability issues My position is that the reason it hasn’t performed well up until now on the platform is because it is effectively gated from new users. If a video creator from Tik Tok or IG shows up today, they will quickly realize this isn’t the place for them; because they can’t share videos. Preventing videos for all hinders platform growth more than you might think. We’re trying to recruit a wide scale audience. It’s 2024, people use video for everything. Think; breaking news, funny memes, etc. So to clarify my question, can you expand on the thought process behind restricting videos to already established users?

Thanks Dan! Appreciate you taking the time to answer. Is this something that’s been tested before so you have some data your basing your opinion on? Last question - since it can’t be for everyone - could there maybe be a simpler process for someone to request it? I think it used to be a Google form even?

What do you mean tested? Google Form could be good, but probably a lot of adverse selection. Right now people DC people I follow and ask them to vouch and that works well enough.
