Warpcast

“Following is dead, you just need algos to spoon feed good content”… 

Is the strategy that’s killing Twitter right now. It used to be sticky because you couldn’t move your social graph, but then the feed deprioritized your connections until they had no value to anymore. 

Then people were free to up and leave. 

People use these apps for community, and yes they want good content, but they care _who_ it comes from.

I appreciate the following feed we _just_ got, but it’s absurd how long we had to fight for it. Would like to see more user empowerment on the purple app.

1. Ack

2. You don’t really expect a new user to find, let alone pay for supercast before activating. 
Warpcast is still farcaster to newbs. 

3. How was that test run? I don’t recall there ever being an option to choose.

1. We started with the following feed.

2. There were other clients with following feed. That’s user empowerment. 

3. Users who use the following feed are more likely to churn.
