I wrote about why I think system conditions matter more than individual performance in producing quality writing, and why CLPs (conversational liquidity providers) on FC are underserved. Inspired by "Quality is Systemic," a great blog post by Jacob Kaplan-Moss, and by the members of the Return On Attention group chat. https://paragraph.xyz/@danicaswanson/quality-writing-is-systemic

Not sure this "case" I made would have worked anywhere other than Farcaster, but thank you anyway. :)

Makes sense to me! Good thing my nerdy brand of earnestness was welcomed so warmly at the time I joined. (That certainly didn't happen on CT...) You helped me feel welcome on the purple app in those days, so thank you again for that.

All good points, and I agree that it's pricey for what it is. But with 100% of the revenue going to creators and devs, it seems worth the experiment.

IKR?!? Last time these made the rounds I couldn't bring myself to share mine. Too embarrassing and cringey. But now it cracks me up.

It's kinda cringe no matter how you slice it but yeah, that would only have made it worse. 🤣

Thank you for raising this. Currently, as a creator, the only way to realize a profit is to sell which is perceived as dumping in the culture. Hard problem to solve especially for creators who need it.

Agreed. Very well articulated and astute insight.

Current crop of token launchers are misaligned with creators. Token launchers make money when tokens are traded but creators are aiming to create long-term audiences. You can’t create long-term audiences with short-term mechanics. Token launchers who are trying to incentivize creators to play the trading game fail to understand their audience.

Nicely articulated! I agree. Also feels like more of the "pieces are in place" so the purple app has better chances of navigating the rough patches successfully.

People have been trying to make online tipping work for nearly 20 years. During the last 18 months, I've seen more experiments on Farcaster than I've seen on the rest of the web in the last two decades. Each iteration is better, more powerful, more frictionless. I'm sure someone will eventually nail it. I often hear that "people don't care", but this is the power of permissionless rails.

🤝 I really want to see the purple app succeed. But for now, the best way for me to help that happen is through the written word.

I appreciate this level-headed, no-nonsense approach to the launch of Farcaster Pro. I won't be opting in for a paid subscription for personal reasons, but I support the way these business decisions are being made with an eye toward 1) sustainable revenue for the protocol, and 2) supporting creators and devs.
