When you get down to it, every single social media site is actually just people grinding to build their careers (aka "audiences"). In other words: It's LinkedIn-all-the-way-down... it's just that LinkedIn is the only place where everyone wears a tie. (And, funny enough, we kind of hate them for it.) Farcaster has an element of the above too, but what makes it feel different is two things: 1. It's builder oriented, with real tools for builders (mini apps, wallets). 2. It's still small enough that we can get to know real people (while being big enough that an "audience" is genuinely possible). Takeaways for me: - The Mini App + Wallet direction is right. - The Channels direction was not wrong.

Yesterday John Hill (previous lead evangelist LinkedIn and Techstars) presented at a local event and I now have far more respect for LinkedIn and its power for growing an audience. Agree a large portion of social is career building. Need to better utilize crypto rails to bring this into a new generation.

Channels are what drew me in, because I loved the idea of a more personalized feed with reddit subreddit elements. I think I have been on reddit for more than 15 years. Growing an audience within your niche would make a lot of sense as a pseudonymous account. Right now I still believe the barrier to cast in channels might be too high, since you have to plan ahead, but good posts also come from spontaneous thoughts by randoms.

I miss the channel-era Farcaster. As someone who is building an audience purely for the kicks of it (and with nothing to sell and absolutely zero portion of my income, now or later, tied to that audience), channels were the closest thing to replacing Reddit for me, i.e. a space where anons can genuinely exchange about topics of interest from mainstream to obscure, without having to partake in the airdrop, influencoooor, or monetization game. I'm agnostic on the Mini Apps, tipping, Wallet, etc. — it's a "free digital country" in which permissionlessness requires that everybody is free to play the game they want or need, including buidling / crowdfunding / grinding / hustling if that's their thing. I just feel that there's a best-of-both-worlds version and Farcaster is currently underindexing on the other half.

Channels is not wrong. There is value in creating a place where content value/energy can be curated & accumulate The current rapid flow of energy (content) in > out is a missed opportunity Also here you go: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yerbearserker lol merged my OnChain with professional recently

The mini-apps are the new meta. I haven't seen them in any other app. (At least the apps I've seen)

The popularization of any network leads to the blurring of a narrowly targeted audience. Facebook was a platform for students. Farcaster is a community of builders, but not for long. The more popular the application, the more diverse the audience in it.
