overwhelming feedback from new users is that the content on farcaster is often too farcaster-centric. sharing a few topics i would love to read more on farcaster (and please lmk if any of these are in your wheelhouse bc i would love to help amplify!): 1. popular culture! trend analyses and insights on culture (and not crypto culture). tell us what do gen z and gen alpha (and sure, millennial) consumers care about. i know "men in tech" may not care about this, but plenty of women *do* and there's a lot of us here! 2. start ups! tell us which startups are hitting milestones, getting funding, growing exponentially — and tell us whether you think they are worthwhile businesses or not. 3. data-centric information about technology, the economy, psychology, and everyday life. i love seeing data visualizations behind things that we know and love. 4. more SCIENCE! tell us how pigs could solve the organ donor crisis or why sunshine is good for the immune system. anything! what do you want to read more of here?

This I wonder if y’all could run an experiment for a month or so and hyper boost “hidden gems or narrow niches” - sprinkling them into the feed in a notable way. I’ve of the aspects I enjoy about Farcaster is folks being comfortable casting in a broad topics. I sprinkle in detailed ag info in some of my farming cases, knowing my core audience isn’t here (yet). And I’m perfectly okay getting less engagement on said casts vs cute doggie photos. Will reengage a bit on the health & nutrition side in the coming weeks. Both you & Dan do a great job of highlighting folks doing niche casting etc, just thinking there has to be a way to draw out the depth of knowledge and human experience that is hidden in the shadows. Excited to see this push.

heard same feedback from people who churned. this is one of the reasons i'm bullish on channels and driving discovery of channels around some of these topics/interests. the argument that channels don't drive growth lacks the nuance that growth also requires immediate engagement and retention sinks. channels are a great candidate for this.

Ironically, new arrivals who just post mini apps and stats etc dont get taken seriously because it's so disingenuous to show up and immediately hype FC and projects on it

I think a lot of this is because we’re addicted to this app like people who are addicted to TikTok or IG are and you spend enough time here, you end up talking about the place the most be it features, meta, memes, discourse, controversy. I don’t think this is specific to Farcaster, take a look at TikTok content around the time of The Banning as a parallel.
