1-31-2025 | proxy-reading-list "You're not accumulating followers, you're cultivating resonance." excellent notes here from @sonyasupposedly and @jihad on posting, the game we all participate in professionally but don't really perceive ourselves doing sometimes "This tech is not going to replace us. It's going to replace the worst of us." @lght.eth spits per usual. do you fuck or do you barely even get it up? don't be lazy. "I think part of it is being an immigrant, and the other part is being from the Midwest. I have very normal aspirations in life. I want a nice place to live, to afford the things I want to do, and to take care of my family. I want to travel when I feel like it, but I don’t really want much more than that." Great interview with Subway Takes creator Kareem Rahma, hard relate links below

It’s funny that the moment we all suddenly got really clear eyed about how capital & power wields trad media, most non boomers dropped Fox and MSNBC en masse… andddd we all shifted straight to algo-feeds and “content creators.” the legacy media issues are real, but new media is just as bad We are not closer to the truth reading our substacks, we just each have our optimized feeds. Everyone has their influencers, their “current thing”. Platforms surface or repress according to their interests. Reporters and influencers fight for attention, streamers scrapping it out in an ever escalating war for reactions Our perception is “alternative media,” but it’s just a new, enormous industry. Highly centralized, too. It feels different though, and we enjoy imaging ourselves as rational. The independent thinkers, blissfully unaware

beautiful thread here on @downshift.eth's experience joining and getting hooked on @farcaster through @degentokenbase and the unique distribution mechanic at the project's core: tipping Directionally, I agree. Tipping is a novel form of distribution that I hope @jacek sticks with. I do think that over time, the project has to develop. My instincts are that Degen playing a big role as a top of funnel project attracting users to Farcaster, getting them onboarded and retained for the early weeks is actually super valuable to the network as a whole. but I also empathize for where Jacek is, looking at data on farming, tipping, and knowing well how brutal the attention economy is around tokens. We might ask: how does the network help make Degen Tipping a more sustainable economic engine for our growth? How do those who tip drive value into the project, and enable the developers to sustainably build great user experiences for new entrants? OFC this gets into more complex questions about roadmap. 1/2
