I think farcaster is undergoing the first wave of "normification". lots of new accounts here aren't in crypto (at least not as deep), aren't SV/NYC techies and posting primarily about lifestyle. this is: - great for farcaster. the new wave of content is more relatable to the majority of people, and it will attract that majority - it's essential for the next stage of growth - possibly unfortunate for early users, who came for the niche vibe (crypto, founder, ethereum, etc) up to the algorithm to reconcile this

eh, a part of me just thinks this is a natural path for a social network. early adopter build some vibe, it attracts a bigger crowd, bigger crowd dilutes the vibe with something directionally generic. It happened to youtube and instagram, both of which I was in early on. https://blogs.cornell.edu/info2040/2015/10/14/the-evaporative-cooling-effect-in-social-network/
