I always thought of Farcaster as a place where I’m not the product. I pay to be here and I own my data. My usage and habits aren’t being collected to be repackaged and used against me at a later date. I can’t be de-platformed, censored, or silenced. I can build what I want on top of the protocol and not worry that my access will be turned off because of a whim or impending IPO. This is the easiest and most familiar way to get into social Web3.

I love this narrative and wish it was more true about farcaster

The fees you pay to the network don’t go to the apps so the idea that you’re not the product is not something inherent to farcaster, it’s just typical early stage benevolence

It’s also way too easy to get censored or nerfed with basically non-existent client diversity. This is forgivable in the early stages of the network but there is little to gain for others by growing the network so it’s hard to see a world where warpcast dominance diminishes over time
