this thinking is a bit narrow imo the $5 fee imposes a constraint on all apps building on farcaster now on top of trying to get someone to try your farcaster-based app in the first place they need to pay $5. it compounds the difficulty of getting users inb4 read-only and onboard them to farcaster later. yeah yeah
