if you're an artist on farcaster, pivot back to twitter.

curious why? not an artist, but as a collector this app doesn't make it easy to share work in a way that looks great at all. gif support is really lacking too

hi! i shared detailed feedback with dan, but here's a gist of it. - media quality still needs big improvements - collectors still on twitter (many joined fc and left last year) - art platforms are not building on fc (manifold, transient, superrare) - hyper financialization seems to have killed organic interaction - most active users aren't into art (users are hungry for lifestyle content over art) - recent creator focus changes give very instagram/tiktok vibes. feels like moving away from what made fc different (artists != creators) - artist friends already left/have one foot out the door it genuinely hurt to even write my original cast because i hate what twitter has become over the last few years, and i've tried to be so patient to ride out the lull with everyone else here and engage with new fun things going on on fc, but right now some of us need to focus elsewhere to survive financially. 🥲 cc @gracealmera @dijaraj @popszi @architsharma.eth (tagging since u asked why i said so)

Can you actually expand on what you refer as "media quality" here? What does Twitter do better here than Farcaster specifically?

Adding my 2c since Priyanka and I have flagged this before. Right now, most images on the timeline load blurry unless you tap to open them. If the image doesn’t look right at first glance, chances are people won’t bother clicking through. Also, I post a lot of videos and the compression on FC feels pretty harsh, noticeably worse than Twitter or threads. Even the lightweight ones (720p/30fps under 10MB) don’t render well. https://farcaster.xyz/bombaymalayali/0x0d7cc65c

Sounds like you have low connectivity mode turned on. Can you check your settings and let me know? Compression — we are updating for video next week. Thanks.
