According to the @snickerdoodle State of Farcaster 2024 report, frames are not such an important feature for most users. Do we think mini-apps are going to grow userbase / reduce churn, or just increase revenue for infra providers / devs - and prevent their churn ?

> frames are not such an important feature for most users. Where is this stated in the report? They report ~1M casts with frames in a single month.

Page 41 of the full report available on https://snickerdoodle.com/reports/farcaster-2024 The fact that a lot of casts have frames do not mean frames are the favourite feature for users. They are a good way to get Moxie rewards, but that's not a sustainable use case. And the tx reports do not show massive activity : https://dune.com/jhackworth/frames

That's not what the chart shows. Users picked the most important feature (they sum to 100%). This does not mean "frames and not such an important feature". They can be (and I would argue they are) an extremely important feature and still be #4. And if you removed them, I would expect 50% complaining. If you added "casts" to the options, then 99% of the same users would pick it, with Frames, Feed, DCs and Channels getting <1%.

I am not saying that frames should be removed, I just think that mini apps are not going to generate a massive and sustainable Farcaster (not Warpcast) network growth in DAU. In other words, do you think frames are - as of today - the compelling feature to acquires new users and prevent churn on Farcaster (not Warpcast) ? That's an important topic, and I am going to try and dig into data to get a clear view, because as of today, I do not see much frames and do not interact with much frames in my feed.
