been thinking about channels ever since @ted posted this how does farcaster reward people for going deeper on a subject? how does it incentivize @matthewb to share about drinking chocolates or @keccers.eth to go deep on her health stack? basically…i want to replace my reddit searches with farcaster searches

this feels similar to the 'wasted' opportunity that happened within the FWB DAO's discord when it was extremely active in 2021/2022 — i found SO MUCH GOOD STUFF in their channels… food recs in the LA channel, amazing books in the books channel, they even had a skincare channel with a resident derm posting amazing advice felt like something that was potentially monetizable or at least ENCOURAGABLE for growth but it was never prioritized

@matthewb @ted these are great ideas my biggest question would be: why should someone do this on Farcaster vs. where there are typically rich communities around niches elsewhere? related: how can we support this happening generally? how can we get people to do this without turning each channel (inevitably) into a product, a token, a whatever I love products and tokens but this (should?) be natural, social, if boosted or encouraged a bit by people in the network

@matthewb
do you have examples of “rich communities around niches”? basically enthusiast internet forums or what do you mean? and yeah it should be organic ideally but if you want to make a lot of high-quality content, it’s a job like any other so requires financialization somewhere along the way.

I’m into making clothing, there are cool niche communities around that in the most random places. Most of my friends who are academics or writers hang out at certain bars, on parts of twitter, instagram Niches form naturally, but why here? Trying to get past that cold start issue because I don’t post about my niche hobbies here, it’d get worse engagement

Started carpentry about 3 months ago, been turning a west elm dinning table Ive had for years into a coffee table and basically its just a bunch of puzzles to solve and learning about wood is fascinating. Biggest shocker, the west elm knock off's on amazon are the same exact materials and its just all compressed sawdust and resin. V2 will be using solid hardwood.
