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 can tell you one thing I got was a laptop camera

Reason being the age and storage on my phone has been an active hindrance to me filming something. I’ve been working on chipping away perceived boundaries until it’s natural to start

Operating System

One of the (imaginary) rules is you can’t use the funds on yourself. Must be for others. What would you do with it instead?

Also especially with Videolab I have been thinking about people’s phones a lot. This can be a serious barrier for creative work.
