Consumer Crypto

The fundamental issue with consumer crypto today is lack of consumers. 

Consumers need interesting or entertaining content to stick around.

Sign ups are irrelevant if you can’t retain them.

Everything else is a marginal improvement at best.

my guy really said “boring casters qq more”

Dan: We need more content.

Also Dan: if you cast "too" much you will be labelled spam forever

Us: Define "too much"

Dan: No.

Social media should be fun driven experiences. This week has been constant rule enforcement. Why bother…

Yeah I get that. But the vibes this week are that people feel afraid to cast or reply because they are terrified of triggering a shadow ban.

It’s like porn and laws

Judges “know it when they see it” i guess

you're hanging out in a bustling party in the metaverse

your friends are here and you speak to them freely

you're all goofing around, someone say's something silly, you make a fart sound in response, everyone laughs

there are also complete strangers here you know you can approach but you also know you'll need some tact

if you make a fart sound and they don't laugh that's not good

if you keep trying to talk to them and they don't respond it'd be rude to continually persist

if you try to approach every single person at the party and give them the same compliment you won't be invited back

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant

tbh I think most of what Dan says is CYA energy when he was gonna operate a specific way that basically involves waiting for the current wave illusion of free money runs out and activity reverts back to the mean

Fair. However, those are spoken/unspoken rules of social engagement that people learn over a lifetime of trail and error, mimicing, and explicit instructions.

I literally had to tell my five year-old at a party to not lick his friend. 

The vibe around here this week is that no one understands where the line is because the line between organically growing your account and reaching out to new people and being "spammy" is quite thin. 

I get the kind of explicit spammy behavior that they are trying to target, but at the moment the vibe is that people are wary to post or engage at all for fear of a shadow ban because they had "too long" of a conversation or said hello to 7 new people, when the correct number was 6.

agree to all that! thanks for putting the time and thought into it. It clarified my vague sense of frustration.

Meh, I don't think it's sad.

I just think the moderation needs to tweaked to be more considerate of honest actors on the platform ❤️

True dear Lauren
Sad story happening here

Just keep the ratio quality/quantity high. You can increase quality, decrease quantity or do both.

clarity is awesome :) transparency is great :)
