I just read the post from @ace and wanted to expand on it with my experience and thoughts about Farcaster.
While it's obvious that the activity ever since $degen season 3 (I think), dropped a lot, it's awesome to see a lot of similar people still being active. And while $degen is still being tipped, it's more of a gesture, rather than trying to make a living off posting (how it felt during the peak).
Regarding onboarding new user. It's still pretty "difficult" for regular users to join Farcaster and the planned changes to the storage won't make it easier.
If we want to reach a higher adoption we need the power user to be a) rewarded and b) pay for the average, inactive lurker. I know it's no easy task, but I'm sure we can find a way to make it work.
Farcaster is still by far the best place if you want to build stuff on chain or just if you're an enthusiasts who wants to stay connected with the core scene and share your passion with like-minded people.
