Farcaster

The algorithm isn’t the problem 

It can’t magically make “interesting” content appear out of thin air..

That requires actual user growth + diverse content

Imagine if every Farcaster user was given $1,000 today to help support more “interesting” content (however each individual defines “interesting”).

How would you spend it?

Assume the following rules:
- spend it over the next week or lose it
- no hoarding or trading
- must be given to other people or projects, not to fund your own
- no quid pro quo

No need to think very broadly unless you want to. I’m curious how people might spend it to cultivate the niches that interest them.

Building a little space at /thenextwave and watching everything on /videolab.

was gonna say we had this with degen but realized getting $1k up front is a bit different. with degen, you could only tip it out in feed, incentivizing the content that you liked. if i got 1k usdc instead, i think itd be smarter to use it for onboarding, maybe find 5 hq creators id like to see here and offer them preloaded wallets

qbase

This is one of the most interesting and unique responses in my opinion. Many of the other replies focus on appreciation, which is so important. But appreciation doesn’t directly solve problem of growth.
