I'm a creator and curator, and I'm wicked good at figuring out the vibe to curate. It's worked well enough to build a solid audience on one of the platforms, but my particular niche and income model creates limits I can't overcome on that platform. The "everyone benefits" ecosystem that's developing in Farcaster is a delightful contrast. A page creator/curator can spend hours a day posting on Facebook and only make a couple hundred on the creator fund, and that's only if they've been admitted to it. My own model has been to encourage my audience to tip me. I've run on donations and pay what you can offers since 2019, bought my house through crowdfunding in 2020, and am just chugging away at improving my life. So the creator/curator-focused economy of farcaster is really, really appealing to me.

I've got five years of first-hand experience seeing how generosity can be an economic model that functions well. To see a place that's experimenting with that on a broad scale is so lovely!
