increasingly more 10k fids & below are in my dms calling for me to get LOUDER

it appears the inner circle is finally getting pissed off?

two notable developments:

1) “get louder for us” — people are scared to speak up due to fear of retribution from ex-cb mafia (this is horrifying, no different than censorship & why we get called linkedin)

2) just talked to a second crypto & fc og who is now advising an fc competitor interested in tokenizing the social graph: one just wants to start a fire; the other is giving “fine i’ll do it myself” energy

while i appreciate dans recent visibility on the timeline, we’ve debated this time & time again to no end & nothing has changed 

out of love for the network, the people want SOME of the 100m+ of capital being SAT ON deployed & deployed LOUDLY 

starting with ONE non dev hire to run ONE of these initiatives (to start): 

> eco fund
> marketing & ua
> branding & optics
> grants & devrel
> meaningful creator rewards & ambassador program

Let’s say a group of folks were to establish an independent Marketing and Funding arm for the Farcaster ecosystem. 

What would you want such an org to do?

Doing free marketing for a billion dollar company 💀

alright fair

i get a bit abrasive when the community tries to compensate for the shortcomings of merkle who have more than enough resources to do this stuff if they really wanted to

i mean it’s just a hypothetical meant to see if people have ideas of what “good farcaster marketing” look like unrestricted by the Merkle team’s philosophy 

but i’d imagine yes, if someone did this successfully, they could get funding from the merkle team
