on today's Farcaster dev call @dwr.eth repeatedly stated that the #1 priority is to improve the quality of content on the network I think he's wrong. Let me tell you why. (disclosure: I told Dan i was going to write this. i hope it spurs some debate) the #1 most important priority is for Farcaster to become more onchain "quality content" already exists in other places and there's no reason or benefit for it to come to Farcaster unless there's some uniquely onchain elements that vastly improve it and tbh most of the content that gets lots of engagement on CT is polarizing debates that the FC community hates the world doesn't need another place to yap about the NBA; it does need better ways to wager, play fantasy games, get access to bts content the world doesn't need another place to yap about what you cooked; the world does need more ways for foodies to get rewarded for sharing great recipes the way to win is by using onchain to change the paradigm and lure people in with the benefits as they emerge

content sparks conversations. conversations spark connections. connections spark discovery. discovery sparks actions. the onchain activities we do on farcaster are much more fun because of the fact that the effort between discovering something and acting on it is more seamless than what we experience on crypto twitter, telegram, or discord. right now we're in a weird state where the people whose content/creations spark those conversations have not completely migrated to farcaster. this is because their audience are split between the two platforms. I don't have the answer on the how - but i do agree with the objective of having higher quality content and that achieving that will unlock the next wave of growth. With a caveat. quality content that crypto natives are interested in. In short to mid term, I see expanding the scope to make the app attractive for non-crypto natives as a distraction. our 2 sats. p.s. apologies for typos, mis-articulation etc. its 1:10 AM here. p.p.s loved this post.
