Many not purple pilled founders ask why would I ever launch on Farcaster there is no reach. 

Usually, my answer is simple:

1. Social proof from high signal people is worth weight in gold. 

Ex. look at the /neynar homepage and all of the glowing reviews. 

2. Agents, Mini Apps and Extensions let you fuck around and find out, gain access to early adopters with connected wallets, and gather kinder feedback that’s constructive 

Ex. Many cases… one more thing

💡Why no starter bundles for mini apps yet @blockheim?!

Reach is incredibly important to survival, though.

Sure, I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive at all - and I don’t think we are disagreeing at all - in order to achieve mission you need ￼to win the short / medium game 

If you had to think about them as sequential dependencies, you don’t scale performance advertising to acquire new customers, before you’re pretty dialed into your understanding of higher signal organic customers or whats driving  viral coefficients for growth

Product market fit at scale when increasingly there is an eroding value proposition and fading systematic relevancy and trust feels like a slightly different point

I think in my mind it's, "What is the job, what is the mission?"

PMF is the job, but reach is the mission. PMF can change rapidly and responding to it is existential eventually.

Zuck, for example, having to throw out 9 figure offers to sustain PMF because without PMF it jeopardizes the mission of reach.

yes, and … 

getting pmf dialed in early and pressure tested all assumption, use cases, onboarding hurdles and churn risks 

til you have a high enough confidence level to get to scale through more reach feels like first order vs second order priorities 

I've never blitz scaled a major consumer social app like you or dwr tho, so obvi my thoughts from the cheap seats ser
