Totally 💯% agree. Makes FC seem scammy, spammy, bs. Scares away normies too. @dwr.eth @v

They are incredibly popular. You can turn them off with two taps (... -> Show less like these)

Fair point and thanks for the quick assist. I guess the big question is whether it “is” (read: would be) incredibly popular with the millions you want to onboard and not the present gen pop (simple extrapolating might not be the beat metric). Might be fascinating to try to measure.

There's no job to be done for normies here that isn't better served on Instagram / TikTok / Twitter.

Need a compelling thing for them before you worry about advertising.

Another great point. Do you think the inertia is due to need to advertise? My thought in a different cast to your great question about what’s preventing us from getting our friends onboarded was the pain point (for me onboarding my friends) is the pushback that they “have never heard of Farcaster.”

You're assuming we have a steady stream of normies signing up. That's not the case.

The only consistent thing we here from people signing up recently that stick around is making money on Farcaster is fun.
