GM Farcaster ep119 Monday, June 17, 2024

For CastOut's next challenge, the six remaining players will each create a /ponder @survey and cast in the channel of their choice. Surveys will be cast any time after noon ET today and whichever has the most responses by 11 am ET tomorrow will win that player immunity. Any...questions? 🤔

What are you reading this weekend?

The single most useful thing you can do to help Farcaster grow is cast 1 thing a day in a channel. Especially non-crypto related. A link to a blog post in /engineering A song you think /electronic would find interesting. A long cast about your preferences for Japanese knives in /food.

Another observation that took me a while to properly model: people use Twitter differently. Most people don’t post. It’s a news and entertainment app. Fodder for a group chat. For people who post, they post for their group of friends also on the app. For a very small group of users—but the group of users that makes Twitter valuable—it’s a PVP status video game. Engagement turns into followers which is the intra-network relative metric of status. Even more so since Elon killed the Ancien Régime blue checks.

“Just pay content creators to post on Farcaster” Top content creators realize any direct payment will be small and short-term relative to compounding value of a large audience on an at-scale network. Monetization through distribution, eg launch a brand, angel investing, etc. So you run into an adverse selection problem. The people who are interested in getting paid by a sub-scale network vs. playing the game on hard mode.

Never let it be said that I do not commit to the bit. I give you the full version of The Long Cast Shanty. Brought to you by /pirates-bay, /thenounsquare, /beepboopglub, @dwr.eth, and my debilitating ADHD.

The most common reason for the dreaded "Image failed to load" is a frame image >10MB. If you see frames from a specific site or marketplace that fail often, ask them to serve a high quality thumbnail instead of the raw asset image. We never render these larger than about 600x600px.
