🧭Recalibrating 🌍Worldbuilding

@ampsfun is the first app to nerdsnipe me in a while because it perfectly leverages and builds upon existing Farcaster network effects. 

Farcaster already thrives on content sharing and amplification. Amps doesn't try to create new user behaviors—it monetizes actions that users already perform naturally.

By doing so, Amps establishes a few self-reinforcing growth loops:

Creators: Creators who pay for distribution → Reach new audiences → Gain followers → Create more content → Have larger budgets for distribution

Readers: Readers who earn from recasting → Are motivated to grow their audiences → Attract more followers → Command higher recast prices → Attract better creator content

This model is particularly compelling because it transforms what was previously a social transaction (sharing content) into an economic one without disrupting the core user experience.

Micro-network effect --> macro-network effect = a win for creators

While it may not seem like it with the algorithmic feeds of socials today, a lot of what boosts creators is the mindshare of other creators/readers with followings that boost content via reshares (quote tweets, share to storey on insta, referencing content in YT videos). 

Also, a lot of people think this happens for free, when in fact, many creators get paid to reshare the work of other creators. Brands do this all of the time, but so do creators. 

Amps helps automate this process by allowing creators to establish a share price and the recaster to automatically receive payment for the reshare. 

I actually wrote about this effect last year, analyzing the impact of micro-network effects:
