Farcaster

The algorithm isn’t the problem 

It can’t magically make “interesting” content appear out of thin air..

That requires actual user growth + diverse content

Imagine if every Farcaster user was given $1,000 today to help support more “interesting” content (however each individual defines “interesting”).

How would you spend it?

Assume the following rules:
- spend it over the next week or lose it
- no hoarding or trading
- must be given to other people or projects, not to fund your own
- no quid pro quo

No need to think very broadly unless you want to. I’m curious how people might spend it to cultivate the niches that interest them.

Great question and I appreciate the criteria you chose. 

My answer: I'd send $250 each to four under-the-radar writers as an expression of gratitude for the writing and gift labor they've already contributed on Farcaster.
