Unironically need someone to unpack what it means to "make money" on Farcaster. There is a cynical, extractive "make money" conditioned by crypto. Spam, sybil, squat, and farm as much as you can with minimum effort. Demand free money for doing nothing but being early. If you don't get it fast enough, scrap anything that's not bolted down and sell it for parts. Hard to blame anyone who does this: it's just part of our culture! But it won't work here, and these users seethe, cope, and churn. There is an earnest, productive "make money" mostly enabled by the social graph. Warpcast rewards, Cura channel tokens, Rounds, Moxie, Ham, Degen, Clankers, Hypersub, Pods, Zora, Rodeo, frames, games, commerce, apps, creating something of your own. You "make money" by doing things: posting, memeing, creating, curating, selling, building, playing, trying, exchanging. The list is long and unlike anywhere else. It's so foreign it is often "cringe". And there is a lot in between these modes. But someone should write it down.

"Making money" on Farcaster involves two contrasting approaches: one driven by profit-seeking and exploitation, the other by genuine engagement and creative effort. The latter, enabled by unique features like social tokens and community incentives, offers a more sustainable and fulfilling way to earn
