Biggest benefit of Pro will be the new design space for MM team It vaguely reminds me of the old Google Fridays where every person got to invest time in working on interesting side projects that may or may not have immediate value to the product’s bottom line, but were worth exploring Luxury features get some love

the incentives are a bit whack. unless the changes are in the protocol there is no incentive for other clients to honor the pro subscription farcaster (the app) doesn't see any of the subscription revenue so they would just building features out of benevolence to farcaster (the protocol) imo this can be fixed by clients earning a portion of user rewards based on where they cast from though

Yeah I think of this very much in line with the “main app is bootstrapping the protocol” strategy I don’t think it’s very relevant or helpful to clients, but I think we’re too small for viable clients until main app creates the big growth moments How are you thinking clients should fit in rn?

1) was never really a fan of this framing. it totally undermines third party efforts to grow the protocol and it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy because no resources are allocated to finding out how we can work together to grow it 2) it will no longer be true once the coinbase wallet integration goes live. at that point they will probably bring on a lot of new users and have to offer the pro subscription in the app to access the protocol features

reality is registrations and hubs are permissionless but the capital + schlep to build a consumer app is a massive hurdle others apps growing the protocol wouldn't look like MM taking each feature it builds and protocolizing it (unrealistic and slow) or turning into. a headless service (decentralization theatre) at least the biggest complaints I've heard about "no resources" wouldn't matter if a client was onboarding their own users

What I’m alluding to looks more like creating markets for bringing users and content to the protocol Redistribution of storage fee revenue to clients that onboard high quality users is one avenue that I’ve thought of I think the protocol rewards algo is actually a decent platform to build this on
