Farcaster

i believe that an important phase of warpcast's growth will be unlocked when it is possible to earn a living solely by posting here

until then, it is a hobby

i am excited to see warpcast rewards rolling out, as it is a step towards farcaster having a sustainable business model for creators

I've been a part of the art community for 2.5 years on X & now here for a few months, & I can tell you with certainty that artists on @farcaster are at a crossroads.

Best case 1: There's some foundational shift where the fc ecosystem elevates these "quality content" creators & they can have a meaningful existence here.

Best Case 2: They go explore Lens or maybe back to X (where despite the algo, they get some recognition for their art from their peers).

Worst case: They get disenchanted with web3 altogether because they've been scammed, rugged, ignored, reduced to a number & pretty much treated like second class citizens regardless of where they exist. I worry about this the most.

Irony 1: The art community is the most vibrant community any social community can have. We literally have generational talent hanging out amongst us & most of us are unaware.

Irony 2: Artists who are here are the most tech forward of the normie bunch we'd wanna onboard. Biggest assets for any social platform.

1/2 🧵

I think what might be of immediate concern is churn for a super engaged community. 

If it cannot work out for the most passionate communities, it’d be hard to convince others.

The promises of what we can achieve together are beyond imaginable. Just gotta iterate together and fast.
