Farcaster

If you don’t like the “make money” consumer value prop for Farcaster—what do you think is better?

Reply with a suggestion and rationale. 

Like replies that resonate.

yall attracting the wrong crowd with the make money thing. shud highlight the actual value prop of fc which is unruggable social network, choose your own client etc.

that stuff speaks to people.

surfacing voices, using tools, deleting data, farping /farp, ****ing /xxxx, drinking matcha

My theory is we are tapped out on growth for people who care about that stuff. From your pov:

Where do those people hang out?

Why aren’t they here already / sticking around if they had signed up before?

Do you think you tapped out on dev growth? Making money seemed like an ancillary benefit from the original thesis which was hacker-first.

My super obvious hottake is that all social platforms specialize in user content and the content has to be easy to consume with a low floor to create, but a high ceiling for mastery (let's pros differentiate, also opens up content to multiple genres) 

I don't see as much differentiated content, either on the writing or frames side (farcade excluded, but that seems high floor to create)
