confession: it makes me a little sad to open Farcaster these days. the algo’s broken, there’s no real way for creators to grow or earn sustainably. everything that pushed me away last time is still here and now they’re stripping away the good parts too.

the people, the cozy builder corners, real feedback, a decent signal-to-noise ratio , it’s all fading. if my posts don’t even reach my friends without amps, and my feed’s full of strangers, what’s the point?

social apps become sticky when your effort compounds your reach, following, and impact grow over time. that’s just not happening here.

the point is probably to make new friends out of the feed strangers; otherwise private group chats are a better way to strengthen the network.

a balance between expansion and strength; seeding and harvesting.

of course, this breaks down if everyone is on their harvest season and nobody’s tending to the dry fields.

i noticed this behavior almost grow exponentially past-GPT4. i lost more friends (ex-cofarmers i would say) than i can count. all of a sudden everyone started thinking they can find the seed/plow the field/tend to the plants/harvest/…

The reckoning will eventually come, i just can’t tell in which form. maybe once enough people experience “llm-induced psychosis” and realize what being a HuMan is about? idk.

everyone’s busy farming their own thing now. no one really checks in each other anymore. the vibe’s just…different
