I have some thoughts about the type of people who are best to help Farcaster grow. When it first emerged, Twitter was not trying to be a global source of news. It happened by organically when lots of people whom I'd call "news influencers" rather than journalists started using the platform for live updates, debates, and sharing information. I myself started accidentally doing reporting"while attending some anti-WTO protests and the Arab Spring as an ordinary curious observer debating people online and posting live updates. It was only after a large number of normie news junkies made Twitter a place where such conversations were happening that the stuffier and richer establishment types felt forced to join in. At that point Twitter became a "global public sphere" almost against its will. I still use Twitter and probably always will. But I think that other platforms can use the "news junkie effect" to create lively new public squares on the internet. A great city should also have more than one public square.

how do you make warpcast a place for news when the main reason people use this app is to market their indie dev projects or earn internet money? this seems like it would take a mass mentality change to get people to care about news here or onboard an entire new wave of non crypto/tech main users.

I think itβs mostly a matter of just getting a core people of people who are interested in that and post about it. I do feel concern about people trying to game the system so there should be regulatory mechanisms in place (need to think about that)

Hard pills to swallow.... btw nah; it's so imperative to have the initial user base of builders; Keeps it high quality. In respect to making money meta: Hopefully it will just be a slice in the pie that farcaster will be in the future just like on twitter; and personally I don't mind it
