It's like getting kicked out of a flying taxi at 50mph and landing smack in the middle of a city in the sky, with flying cars and teleportation. And once you get up and brush yourself off, you realize half the city is flashing billboards for investments. There is not enough time to understand them all. It is insane to even ask someone to try. So, I just write poetry and talk to myself. I came here alone. No one onboarded me. At least with Zora, I felt some comfort knowing I was just browsing art and music... sparking things I liked because I appreciated them, real or not. The two apps couldn't be more different. And then you hit the storage restrictions, and as a system admin of 10 plus years, spending a good portion of time managing storage and resources... I am having a really hard time understanding this concept of 'storage units' farcaster is using. What's worse is, people will just hit it... most won't know about it, you just let them uncover it in the most demoralizing way. I asked about it via the official support email and nothing so far. Zora support - contacted me within 24 hours and straight to resolution. So, in a nutshell @dwr.eth ... Maybe the people of that little town of Zora have something to teach the world... There are good things here, but there is also a distinct feeling that something is being hidden. A monetization strategy of storage, hidden behind the mask of reducing spam - something the algorithm already addresses by reducing visibility of what it deems is spam accounts.
I hope either this strategy is rethought, or, if not, that there is some turtorial you can add to this app that prepares users for your framework. My wife and father have Zora accounts. I have no interest in bringing them here, yet. Both for it's complexity and surprise costs (channels, storage, initial account creation, and anything else I am going to stumble on even as a 'pro' user) 1 reply
