> Gun to my head I bet they believe:

1. Two classes of content creators: professionals and then amateurs. Professionals need to make enough money to live. So they will optimize for the +EV platform of audience, growth potential and ability to make money.

Amateurs are usually happy if they get anything (it's unexpected). Some are hanging out / having fun and others are focused on entirely on status (you're average Twitter account that has a day job).

2. Normal people use social apps: 1) be entertained (likely because their friends are there) and weaker but exists 2) dating 3) professional reasons. 

3. Farcaster is sub-scale on entertainment today and your friends are probably not here. Dating (not much) and professional (a bit).

4. So we have to solve for something that will get people to sign up for the app and stick around assuming their friends aren't here. Money is by far the most retentive thing we have on the network -- whether through rewards, tips, FC-native money events like DEGEN.

5. The problem with money in the forefront is it feels icky and scammy to most people. They're wary (rightfully!) that it sounds too good to be true.

6. So our hypothesis / challenge is how to product market the positive elements of a social network where everyone has a wallet and money (in the form of stablecoins, which are friendly UX) flows freely to a wider population of people (not just creators with big audiences).

Candidly, not a good strategy to hijack an unrelated thread to promote your stream 

Feels spammy and makes me less likely to join

yeah, any advice? in this specific case as you follow me, had donated me and reply me on my cast, i tought you we're likely to join if i sent you a cast

+ i was talking about you on the stream while i did this

Just DC me!

I have to drive to the office now, so can’t join this time, but I’m always responsive on dms :)

yeah, thank you and thanks for being kind

actually it was 100% intentional to cast on you because i'm doing 5 minutes of reach and then 5 minutes of song during the one hour+  i live stream, figuring to cast on only those who have casted during the hour and has a sense for me to cast, in this case it was because we're connected but i get to reach on dm's , but actually it's part of a live dynamic of reach
