largely why we shouldn't optimise for video content; we're 5 years too late

yt, tiktok, instagram know me better than my mum

the algo knows what i want to see 

there's also abundance of content there 

likely no reason why i'd ditch them and go elsewhere

what if fc mini apps became the new product hunt? 

what if fc wallet + feed becomes a trader's safe haven? 

idk i keep thinking a lot on how farcaster should uniquely 100x and spend $10mn over the next 12 months to go big or go home 

the team / founders are incredibly talented and there's opportunity cost

maybe it's a decade long slow grind to wait for a canonical event that floods new valuable users

but is hope a good strategy?

i ask this to myself very often each time i say 'i hope xyz happens'

> farcaster is 5 years too late to compete on video

Hard agree

Competing on video is not playing a different game 

Playing a different game in farcaster’s case would be maximising time/$ spent in mini apps for example

Not that that’s what I’m here for but if growth has to come from somewhere 🤷‍♂️

I know I said it makes sense for farcaster to have a video feed and I still do - that’s table stakes. But video support is not gonna make Farcaster win

I like how TBA has done it with a video feed, you go there when you want to
