1. Yeah it's nice 2. If you set up the right ecosystem and incentives, people will post the right content. In my opinion the current structure doesn't help making Farcaster win. Or maybe it does but you have way different vision of winning than I am - happy to learn about it. You can ofc frame my well-meaning critique as whining, but I don't think that helps to build a better product.

As 1) Farcaster built a great crypto experience via in-app wallet + mini-apps. I think it's way better than vanilla crypto UX and chapeau bas for that. 2) Twitter is betting even more on 'get viral or die' feed strategy, so it's way harder to break through for most accounts, even those with decent following. This means that there are people who would like to chat about crypto but can't do it on Twitter. These people might be pretty open to using crypto via Farcaster as they're already crypto-pilled. 3) I think purposely tweaking algo to give more prominence to high-quality crypto related posts would help onboard more people of these people. Ofc I haven't seen your algo and the devil lies in the details. There are probably 100 ways to do it badly and only a few to do it well. But it is possible (picrel) PS: As I responded to deodad https://farcaster.xyz/macbudkowski/0xa7c03cbf

Can you give me examples of excellent crypto posts that haven't gotten engagement?

This is the thing - I don't see them in my feed. Here's a quick scroll of my feed. So there are a few options: 1) People stopped writing good crypto takes => why? 2) People write good crypto takes but they are not in my feed => why? 3) People write good crypto takes, they are in my feed, but they are buried way too low => why 4) Some other explanation?

Sure. I think they've always been rare and the ones that get posted definitely get good engagement.

I think we have different definitions here. For me good crypto content =/= smart tweet. These are rare - though there was a time when @androidsixteen.eth posted good stuff almost all the time. But what I really enjoyed about FC was the discussions. Sometimes the take was okay but the discussion it sparked was great. I see these more rarely than I used to even though we have way more users.
