i'd do a stupid walk and talk about why i'm pissed off about farcaster but no one would see it anyway

it's not so much about the app as the culture on the app. it's just like everywhere else where people who already have a network are able to grow their engagement and get rewarded (whether by actual rewards like here or just marketing yourself which is what i need as an artist). 

it's not a problem specific to farcaster. twitter is like that too, i just have an advtange there that i've been on there for 17 years so i have followers 

incentivizing users with rewards is great! but the top users are making like 100x what i'm making and its all the same people all the time, so that's not feeling like an incentive for me. and i'm sure, as has been said, that the pro thing won't affect the algo but it will affect how people perceive each other

i would see it and would love your feedback 🥺

only way we can improve the app

/***** offline; reach out elsewhere *****/

oh i doubt i will but i appreciate you for saying so 

i'm going to probably still post stuff here but not put any effort into engagement because it's not working out (unless i complain about farcaster then people swoop right in)

You'll be missed 🥲

Wish I could do more to get you seen better. The frustration is totally understandable

the curve on the rewards is not nearly flat enough haha, it's probably all the friends and fam of the core devs getting any decent money

I think a good number of people see it that way. The curve on engagement is not close to flat enough and they stepped on discovery ages ago. I get more feedback on instagram now.
