1. I think this is fine! Permissionless means you can build however you want.

2. For those that have been around for a while, Varun correctly predicted this and there was a lot of pushback from devs (remember amps?). Protocol follows only work if a large app like Warpcast is willing to follow that norm.

(To be clear again: these apps should build however they want and should not feel pressured to ask users for signers / add back to the graph if that's not beneficial to them.)

Already does kinda. You can add a ‘type’ when adding a new link on the protocol

fwiw you can add new link types to the protocol if you want to add follows from your own app to farcaster

This is great if your app has a fc signer but other than that no incentive really bc it requires users you onboard outside of farcaster to pay the $3/year anti spam tax

presumably there is be network effects of broader visibility if content from your app is on farcaster vs not and a subset of brands will choose to utilize that
