Dan Romero on Farcaster

Dan Romero pfp

Why are we investing in video? I've been spending a lot of time recently talking to users. Our goal is to figure out how we can get people to invite their friends to Farcaster. If we can solve this, Farcaster will grow. When asking why people aren't inviting their friends to Farcaster, the overwhelming reason is they spend most of their time on TikTok / Instagram / YouTube (no X / Twitter). So, video.

I can’t find the link but YouTube shorts just crossed some huge number. I’m sure you’ve thought all of this out already but making it easy for people to create short videos directly from the feed would be a next level idea. Some people will use CapCut but a lot of them won’t. Editing would probably be too hard to do in app but maybe just a way to record a short and post it, almost like vine was. And then have a dedicated shorts feed as well Great moves!

They can come and watch a movie. Or download it if they prefer. https://farcaster.xyz/fc1/0x4ff0e439

good opportunity for video and miniapp combos, both marketing and a more rich UX, onchain capabilities etc.

1000% true, This will lead to more users and grow Farcaster. I remember other takes saying we should be “only” considered Social Network and not Social Media. but in this digital world, why not be both. Big companies have the Big influencers, but We have here what other web2apps dont have. Soon content creators (and Brands) can be onboarded, and once they see and fell inlove their followings could follow too. Ive been here long enough to say that This is a place where people/users are great at innovating/Building and im sure someone will be creating awesome apps to suit and cater for short form Video content creators.

You meet people where they already are. If their time goes to video, then that’s what the platform needs. Makes total sense.

Farcaster needs to feel familiar before it feels new. If video is the reason people don’t bring friends in, then video is what's required.
