"Merkle just helps its friends"

How many times do I have to repeat that most users and developers on Farcaster did not know Varun or myself prior to joining Farcaster.

And in some cases have *become* friends because they stuck around early on when no one else cared. We've spent years with this people socializing on this social network. :)

Don't conflate something that's earned / built with cronyism.

I’m a high FID, low-follower user. 
Yet you basically reply to every constructive criticism, question, idea, etc. that I have. I don’t really see any favoritism. I think some folks just don’t want to put in the time and want the instant gratification TikTok and other social media platforms give users off the bat.

I agree! For how busy the FC team must be, I feel like I get a good amount of genuine responses
