Design

what if bots on farcaster are a feature and not a bug? in fortnite, they fill lobbies with some bots instead of real players so that even new players get the satisfaction of beating someone. this increases playtime and retention of players and could work the same way for farcaster users, it’s all game design.

But I want to connect with real people. I don’t want to waste my time with fake ones.

Building /stokefire a mobile strategy game onchain. Run and own poolfish.xyz a calculator for LP providers. Built Potion solo and sold for $300k.

only if taken to the extreme, just like a player in fortnite could play against bots 10% of the time we engage with bots for only 10% of interactions

opportunity cost of talking to bots is talking to humans

a non-negligible cost if you want to connect with real people

talking with bots doesn’t prevent you from talking with real humans
