Fascinating analysis on the first 10,000 pro subscribers. We knew the NFT was going to drive subscriptions, but this is some of the first analysis of how intense the farming was. 24% of the people who minted had less than 10 followers. Almost 12% had 0 followers. Speculation on the future value of the NFT is right here in black and white. There is no way someone with 0 followers paid to “support” the protocol or get the future benefits of longer casts and more photos.

That’s money in the pocket of people casting and developing on the network.

Welcome to Farcaster!

It’s really hard to measure. I know we have a lot of lurkers and a lot of folks who don’t cast daily. It’s difficult to figure out how many people are “here” and how to accurately measure that.

Many of us did.

when u pay for spotify or icloud is it for the vibes?

Right at this moment, there are zero benefits to the pro subscriptions except the badge next to your name. People subscribed for future benefits. Or vibes.
