Ok, but what if I feel weird about getting paid to recast stuff? 🤔 What if knowing that ppl are getting paid to shill stuff makes me want to unfollow them? 🤔 One part of me loves the idea of monetizing your network in guerrilla style marketing. It's really effective, why shouldn't this be normalized?? The other part of me feels like it's going to erode people's social network and amps users will just start to become like web2 influencers and it'll kickstart the demise of the vibes in Warpcast and push ppl to alternative clients that have 'amps filters' or something. Well, maybe it's a win-win in that case... but I still feel weird about the idea of getting paid to shill something and following people who do too. Like, what if the recast included the exact amount that was paid, so everyone viewing it could see exactly how much it cost to purchase their attention space. Would that lesson the impact of the recast? Increase it? Have no effect whatsoever?

what if you could see *who* paid to have this person shill something to you? Would that change the value proposition for a potential use-case of this kind of tool?

Great points! Transparency could help. Maybe recasts could include a disclaimer about compensation, similar to FTC rules. This way, the community stays engaged while maintaining trust. Thoughts?

I have similar mixed feelings that have kept me from trying @ampsfun thus far, so thanks for writing this. I like the idea of getting paid to recast something I would have recasted anyway, especially on Farcaster. I want the Farconomy to succeed. But I also think it's wise to tread verrrry carefully with things like this because I've seen economic incentives erode community goodwill and trust in so many different ways. Still not planning to try it myself, but I'm definitely watching the experiment with keen interest and taking notes.

Yeah I get both sides! Though I think boosting is actually more common than you might think. The key here imo is that it’s for people you follow, so you’ve filtered who you are likely to recast. Additional filter preferences would be good. But also, in an algorithmic system, I miss lots of things I would have recast had I seen it. If it means that much to someone that I/my network see it, I feel like monetizing that “value” is possibly a good thing. I think also that it will depend on how it gets used and the rules applied (eg can announce a launch of something, but not shill something sellable)
