Why is everyone pissed about the feed? And what can we do about it?

🔔 🔔 🔔 🔔 😡 📝 👙 🍲 🔔 🔔 🔔 🔔  

A lot of people have been remarking recently that they’re not seeing the content they want to see on the home feed.

At the core of this issue is that Farcaster is experiencing a “thirst trap” meta. 

Said another way, there’s a lot more multimedia lifestyle content now.

As a share of total engagement, the old guard of nerdsniped text-based content is at an all time low. 

On top of this, Merkle may be intentionally boosting this kind of media content as a bridge to a forthcoming video pivot. 

Some of it is good content, some of it is superficial fluff. But overall it sometimes makes the feed harder to filter and parse. 

Before this shift, there was a feeling that you could open the feed and learn something from a curated network. 

Now the content feels scattered and fragmented in a way that can add mental overhead and detract from the experience.

Okay, time for the shill. 

We actually started working on the new @procoin release before people started hardcore hating on the feed. 

The core hypothesis of the new protocol and miniapp is that there is now quite a bit of really good content on Farcaster, spread across a wide variety of subjects. 

But there isn’t a great mechanism for people to discover it

The Procoin Curation Protocol (PCP) proposes a new primitive called “Feedcoins” that incentivizes curators to curate the best content around their theme of choice.

Enough creator tools! In light of recent feed changes  — and even before them — we are in desperate need of better curation.

We’re harnessing the speculative instinct of crypto to spark a curation renaissance.

I’m attaching two recent posts I’ve written about the PCP, but if you’re short on time, it’s Friendtech meets Tumblr.

We’ve already got a core community of early curators preparing their feeds in our groupchat for the upcoming launch. 

If you’re interested, reply here with the kind of subjects you like to curate around.

Farcaster is the best thing in its class, namely a decentralized programmable social network. 

It just needs something that works really well on the platform that can’t really be done on other platforms…

The trailer for Project Hail Mary just dropped.

It’s based on one of my favorite books. Same author as The Martian, and both books are essentially MacGyver in space. 

Read the book before you see the movie.

Auction #3 is on , and @qrcoindotfun shows persistency in winning an auction. it just makes sense. Let's see what the weekend yields

While we're excited about a number of projects out there that are catered towards creators, we think there is a massive opportunity to cater towards *curators*

There's so much content out there, but there's very little incentive for curators to discover and organize the best of it. 

The new protocol is designed for curators to make money curating from day one

More soon

Another day building the next generation of curation experiences
