9/12 Many people also run OnlyFans-style paid groups on Telegram, but IM is a poor carrier for paid content. Content cannot sit in a fixed card and be read smoothly the way it can on Twitter; the important posts get washed away by fragmented chat, and even pinned content has to be dug out. Users spend their time hunting for content instead of reading it in one card.
So I think Farcaster's native advantage is this: a square and a set of clubs, borderless because of the blockchain, with frictionless payments, built on a decentralized privacy protocol. Build the square and the clubs, give people better infrastructure for running a club on the internet than anything they have today, and they will come in on their own. Demand will surface on its own, users will invent new ways to play, and that will drive the product forward.
