Finally had a chance to listen to the first text-to-video AMA by Dan and had some insights/reactions: 1. Dan is hyperfocused on user growth through increasing the supply of quality content. This is nothing new. It's good to see Dan maintain the same messaging all this time while also showing off some knowledge on growing successful products. However, one thing that is a bit clearer to me now is that the team is more focused on growing the product/platform (Warpcast) as a means to grow the use of the protocol (Farcaster). 2. Dan defines high-quality content as domain experts sharing their knowledge with commentary (and sometimes jokes if they're REALLY funny). I really don't love this approach as I believe it creates classes of users, i.e., there are good users (domain experts) and the lower class of users that engage with that content. Also, it is less clear to me now who the audience for Warpcast is if that's the kind of platform they want to create. That's a very niche use-case of Twitter. [Continued]

4. Dan believes mini-apps aren't a likely candidate to drive user growth and the supply of quality content. I think his main argument is that most people don't want to play mini games on top of their apps? Idk it's a weird take because mini-apps don't have to be just games. Games are just great experiments for testing the constraints of new mediums. The earliest adopters of a new medium are gamers and porn. I doubt Dan wants to make another OnlyFans clone, so making and improving primitives like composer actions for developers to test the medium of a crypto-native social platform is how you develop new use cases, new business models, and new content not possible anywhere else. My personal belief is that it would be a better growth driver than targeting professional opinion writers.

How many mini-apps do you think would launch a month?
