Farcaster

The algorithm isn’t the problem 

It can’t magically make “interesting” content appear out of thin air..

That requires actual user growth + diverse content

Imagine if every Farcaster user was given $1,000 today to help support more “interesting” content (however each individual defines “interesting”).

How would you spend it?

Assume the following rules:
- spend it over the next week or lose it
- no hoarding or trading
- must be given to other people or projects, not to fund your own
- no quid pro quo

No need to think very broadly unless you want to. I’m curious how people might spend it to cultivate the niches that interest them.

Building a little space at /thenextwave and watching everything on /videolab.

I know it must be given to other people but , I would spend some Into myself to boost myself, to gain outreach and followers first. Then I would promote the very best creators, and “influencers” and spend majority on them. Then I would share and recast some of the runner ups daily.

Stay vigilant, only the essential endures

Drawcast

I don’t find that hard to believe. I think Farcaster is often proof of how much people like to support others.

Obviously not a simple task.. maybe run polls with high quality casters? It would be a way to encourage the community and casters to step their game up tbh. No I wouldn’t do such things I don’t really see the point in giving and expecting a “reward” or something in return. It’s hard to believe but some people actually enjoy helping others. And honestly I don’t like asking for help it’s one of my problems with myself and relationships.

Do you have any of those best creators in mind now? Would spending on them be a simple way to appreciate them, or would you attach strings to the money you give them?
