why are there so few young people on farcaster and why is no one worried about it

1. Brand recognition - farcaster relatively unknown - esp outside of CT. 
Need closer/instant recognition with base brand?

2. Convoluted sign up process
That won't fly w. Younger people

They want instant (I have 2 teens)
Plug in. Press button. Add email. Go

3. We are gating everything. It's not as welcoming

You're right. It's not cool. It's overly complicated. It's the opposite of Laymens speak. Too many clever people sounding clever - that won't fly with kids and their attention. 

Young people are there for the taking. 

Higher as a token and brand would be an opportunity imo. It's got that 'it'

I think these are all real and deserve consideration but that the answer is more simple: 

We aren’t making posts about stuff young people care about. Farcaster isn’t ‘cool’ yet
