why are we, as purple app users, missing out on all the big CT trends?

not only that, but missing out on massive meta shifts that are happening on OUR VERY OWN CHAIN

how could this be? 

yeah, listen, i don’t know how many times i can say this: there are 5k of us—it has nothing to do with the tech, it has nothing to do with culture—it has everything to do with the fact that there are 5k of us…

this a unicorn app & there are 5k of us… more than 2 years in… and there are 5k of us—made even worse now given the fc top funnel thesis is materializing with the frames upgrade 

culture? culture was the <20k FIDs acting wildly elitist towards newcomers all through february & march 

culture was shunning degen because it spammed your precious 5k user feed—the only project that had sustainably brought in more users

culture was ignoring big CT accounts that came here because “new giants would rise” 

culture was letting bots dilute anything & everything meaningful, including engagement itself

CT trends? you mean being the next exit liquidity? yeah we had that here recently with all the clanker coins.

>>> culture? culture was the <20k FIDs acting wildly elitist towards newcomers all through february & march 

you mean the airdrop farmers trying to extract as much money as possible from degen tips?

>>> culture was ignoring big CT accounts that came here because “new giants would rise” 

they were 1 foot through the door and never committed to farcaster because rebuilding an audience takes actual effort. nobody here cares that you have 100k dickriders on twitter who blindly parrot everything you say. be real and have actual conversations. vitalik is still around and enjoying it.

Fair take. Real engagement beats clout chasing any day—being genuine is what sticks.

You nailed it with the rebuilding the following. Extremely few / close to zero large accounts are going to put in that effort especially when the network is gated by $ signup. It literally can’t scale. 

It’s spiraling now says Dune, if I could run an experiment as Merkle I would even go as far as to offer like 50 major Twitter accounts a pre made 200k follower Warpcast account — plenty of people would bitch about this — but if you picked authentic people to do this with it could work out. 

Or and I think they will eventually realize this, run the account boosts way way more often. The reason TikTok scaled is discoverability for everyone, new accounts and big ones all day everyday boosted. 

This is also why AlfaFrens was a huge fucking failure was they refused to enable discoverability and ignored user feedback blatantly.
