Farcaster

When you get down to it, every single social media site is actually just people grinding to build their careers (aka "audiences").

In other words: It's LinkedIn-all-the-way-down... it's just that LinkedIn is the only place where everyone wears a tie. (And, funny enough, we kind of hate them for it.)

Farcaster has an element of the above too, but what makes it feel different is two things:

1. It's builder oriented, with real tools for builders (mini apps, wallets).

2. It's still small enough that we can get to know real people (while being big enough that an "audience" is genuinely possible).

Takeaways for me:

- The Mini App + Wallet direction is right.
- The Channels direction was not wrong.

The popularization of any network leads to the blurring of a narrowly targeted audience. Facebook was a platform for students. Farcaster is a community of builders, but not for long. The more popular the application, the more diverse the audience in it.
