what i love about amps is that it is one of the top used frames and doesn't have any funky, hard to grok crypto mechanics

it's as simple as "pay to recast" so users love it

bullish on more frames and use cases that solve common social media pain points that can be powered by micropayments

1 month later, still my hypothesis.

social-first, USDC-first mini apps like @ampsfun (pay to recast) and /flock-in (pay for cameo-like videos) appeal most to the avg consumer, critical for mainstream adoption

my current wish list: tip on a cast, pay-to-view article cc @paragraph, pay-to-view compliment (cc gas)

Where writers share, grow, and get paid — one post at a time.

I’m really sad that token gating on @paragraph is gone. It was one of my favorite features and I think it was ahead of its time.

We may bring some flavor of it back at some point.

We definitely wanted token-gating to work, but writers very rarely used it, and very few readers purchased tokens.

I've wondered if token-gated writing and NFT memberships didn’t gain much traction bc they don't provide much extra benefit over paid subscriptions.
