I'll repeat more broadly: decentralized social networks (whether crypto or non-crypto architectures) are limited by supply of interesting and entertaining content.

If you increase the supply, audience will follow.

Everything else is downstream of that.

The "interesting" qualifier is key: 1m carefully curated and thoroughly thought casts by me, are less interesting than a single "hello farcaster" cast from a sports, music or politics celebrity -or even their teenage kid. 

This has been the inflection point for every social network.

i think this is right

there is definitely a viable decentralized social thesis that there are communities that want a more direct channel with content creators, but how does farcaster enable that rn better than instagram, youtube, tiktok, etc? what's the secret sauce that'll get content creators to immigrate to farcaster? 

h/t some thoughts @cameron has shared recently

thanks for the insights, i think you're 100% right

audience seems to be the key, so i guess it's up to the creators on farcaster with the biggest audiences to prove that this is not only possible but more easily achievable 

the *new things* category is interesting bc there's a lot of creative possibilities there, but perhaps also a lot of unfamiliar territory which could be a barrier to many avg users

we need to prove to creators they can either make more money sustainably or grow their audience more easily

we can help them do the same things better or empower them to do new things they can't do elsewhere

that's basically all that matters

and none of those have anything to do with the quality or type of content, right?

for instance, i know one content creator on insta who creates content for her super niche services business, and the reality is there just aren't enough people on farcaster for there to be enough clients for that niche service

so perhaps now we can just call farcaster a good (maybe the best?) marketing channel for onchain enthusiasts, new tech crowd, maybe a few more categories?

My guess:
1. Someone onboards one of them, and they do it as a personal favor, or because it sounds cool
2. They are deplatformed and looking for a platform where the risk of happening again is lower. (I can think of a politician who would have considered this path 3 years ago...)
3. They just want to be cool and in touch with the next thing, and they are sold Farcaster may be it.
