Any tips I send out that you feel obliged to round trip go into what I am calling Keccers Tip Fund and will be used to pay out more tips. Your generosity enables further generosity from me. Heartfelt gratitude this week to Leeward and Rob whose kindness I am paying forward!

For some reason, I read the beginning of this with the tune like 🎶I’m looking for a girl in bainance. Do work. On bus. Works where. Bainance. Do work. On bus. I’m looking for a girl in bainance. 🎶

Make compulsive behaviour loops - reward with diminishing dopamine - build captive audience who mistake volume for authority, award curiosity with expectation, enshitify, mistake innovation for using ‘tools to hand’ as solutions for problems forgotten after C round funding. Reward paucity of imagination. Wonder why Entropy flattens it so fast. Live in this bizzaro world of flat land but in super HD https://warpcast.com/keccers.eth/0xcbf31e43
When working with Google on a redesign in 2022, research showed that 80% of people seeking to research how to apply for graduate school went to TikTok.
Alright I slept on it and it’s still eating at me. This is poison. Is it a step toward 10x’ing DAUs? Almost certainly. I don’t blame Merkle. But this is exactly the kind of mechanism that promotes Current Thingism and tanks the average shelf life of content on a platform. It incentivizes top level casts and replies in the moment’s hottest little bucket over sharing the original thoughts on niche topics that made this place so appealing in the first place. And it was the complete absence of this kind of timeline cruft that made Farcaster feel so preternaturally high signal and productive of non-regretted interactions. This is eulogy for an era that I will remember with great fondness, not a protest or feedback. Happily for all of us, this place is not designed by committee. This is reality, where goods and services cost money. Merkle either slowly bleeds to death providing a magical tree fort for my favorite nerds or it lives long enough to see itself become something more like TikTok. 🫡 https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/09e1bf4f-beff-4ec0-dce7-8bd6702b4c00/original https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/3b4592a3-158f-407a-81c8-e5f766a50f00/original

"extraction may be inevitable but is it desirable" - and moreover, does being competitively extractive mean you are smart? imho the opposite. the most extractive people i know (and the richest) are all unquestionably the dumbest. when they try to sound smart, it always comes out as "well maybe poor people don't deserve to eat!" and everyone else at the Homeless Charity Gala nods and cheers, because culturally it's widely accepted that anything a rich person says is smart, true, and good.

Excited to share my next adventure. I decided that watching my wife and co worker's coloring that I would take my Geo Critters series and create a coloring book series. Tomorrow I'm going to create a video and narrate the story associated to this book and creating a coloring book for sale in my art style. Mixed with AI but still me. Don't ever let anything hold you back from chasing your dreams. Believe in yourselves and never give up. Push forward! https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/8f8592b3-5c56-4e0c-ad2b-7446c1d08a00/original https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/8eb02990-d3e3-4cc1-3e79-2d19421fcb00/original
That's all she wrote folks — tips issued today, April 15th, will be included in next week's recap. Thank you so much for everything, from the belly laughs to moments of true introspection. See you on the timeline!
If you have a post with 10,000 viewers 1% of them tip .50 that’s $50 direct to creator with none of the bad feelings of speculation involved for either party We have all the building blocks for this today but don’t do it because …. ? Too hard to socialize the behavior? Profit motive — trading leads to many more txn for the chains and platforms? Content is actually valueless and no one will ever pay?
I been sayin’ https://warpcast.com/matthewb/0x35c0ddc0
We have to work against the platform owners here in some way to do this but I am fully on board (as you know) 🤭 I need to update my crypto tracker but I’ve tipped out at least $300 YTD 💪 Imagine if everyone did like us
Please do Tuesday Tips like this ^ instead of like 👇
Yes https://paragraph.com/@keccers/i-liked-it-so-much-i-paid-for-it-002?referrer=0xA2fE1d4145443EbC027F15C9F7ca27f7e9FD5F33
I loved the soft 🍖 tip when i liked something.
I don't think I have developed opinion on this but I've received several $ payments since I joined They would be good money for some folks ... but I think you mean western like money, right
put it here and remove the actions button. coin problem solved.
Super Like. $0.25 Done and dusted
I see people tip reply on YouTube videos alllll the time, like not small amounts either
yes a no brainer now appreciate the insane amount of work to make this a good UX w/o an intermediary taking a rake or freezing accounts crypto wallet that is secure, self custodial, and recoverable that doesn’t require remembering a seed phrase integrated into social network where each account maps to exactly 1 wallet with subcent transaction fees with reasonable on ramps the combo of this is weeks old / still being born (e.g. web wallet)
Diamond app on the $DESO chain offers tipping through a thing called diamonds.
Yeeees. I need a quick way to tip I'm sick of typing.. 55 $degen .. everytime and my degen tip actions don't work any more ( paper boy I think)
didn’t we have the warp button at some point? i wonder how that did in terms of numbers either way, i agree. i always enjoyed tipping warps, usdc, anything. a native button to send $0.25 would be fun.

look, I just need 10,000 people to act in unison to make the math work. The reality is that will happen to only 1% of creators. So it’s back to the same problem.
But you don’t need 10k people to act in unison — you need 100. Or 50. And it’s fully positive. People get to feel good about freely giving for something they valued and creator doesn’t have to worry about people losing money via gesture of support
To clarify, I’m all for the positive aspect of this. I know my response might come off otherwise, I just question the reality of it at scale. I guess a way to combat my skepticism is to see a lot of accounts with 5k or less followers see this work for them as you describe.
I mean Degen tips?
Yes. I think Degen was right direction in the end Hard cause it almost got too big for its britches and too gameable Platform based comp a good bootstrap if WC finds PMF https://warpcast.com/keccers.eth/0x898be058
agree on your first 2 points. Beforee Degen shot itself in the foot/ 222 $DEGEN you don't think WC found PMF yet?
there was a feature to send warps from a cast, could see the same feature come back with USDC as the currency
There are a lot of good ui/ux ideas for this in my replies too 😎
Yeah there's an additional step to this that you have to go to that person's profile and use the pay option but if that pay option hits under the casts, would be game changing imo. Cc @v
1% hit rate is probably ISANELY HIGH tbh. You look at some of the largest creators on youtube or twitch, which have cultures of giving, and maybe 0.01-0.1% sub or give even once. The content generally doesn't bring value to the people with the money.
Well then we need to be honest about that and stop trying then. Why are we beating a dead horse
It's easier to sell dreams than realize them.
hmmmm it’s a little different there for a couple of reasons, one is that twitch and YouTube are long form streaming content in horizontal view at a computer happy to share my POV more
I think you could make the same argument for shorts on youtube, or reels on instagram. The content is consumed and then discarded. I am open to hearing what might be off course since you almost def. have more exposure to this than me
moving from free to paid is a very weird transition for most. albeit a necessary one in this occasion.
I liked it so much I paid for it: April 8-14 2025 We've got interfaces, Record Store day, beautiful meals, Beatrix Potter inspired books, computers for civilizational collapse, sword skills, dreams of a better world and clear eyed looks at what the world really is. Special thank you to @leewardbound and @robot for roundtripping my tips to them. All round tripped tips get paid forward. All tips from today will be recapped next week. With gratitude 🫶 https://paragraph.com/@keccers/i-liked-it-so-much-i-paid-for-it-002
I also got my Paragraph back. Pull-ups VERY SOON
oh damn wasn’t sure what you meant with the tip fund, very cool!
next level casting*writing mad respect! ⚔️
am i too redacted to understand how to go back to the main piece after opening a cast instead of closing and reopening the entire thing
No. This is sort of a known flaw with mini apps. There is no back button nor best practice for a back button pattern. https://paragraph.com/@keccers/i-liked-it-so-much-i-paid-for-it-002 https://paragraph.com/@keccers/i-liked-it-so-much-i-paid-for-it-002 https://paragraph.com/@keccers/i-liked-it-so-much-i-paid-for-it-002 https://paragraph.com/@keccers/i-liked-it-so-much-i-paid-for-it-002 https://paragraph.com/@keccers/i-liked-it-so-much-i-paid-for-it-002 A bunch of links hopefully a punt to browser makes this better
“my piece already got 600 views!” >69 of them were triumph thank u, links much better lol
I support this initiative
Love how intentional this list always is. Do you keep a running log of what stands out each week?
Yes via the notes I sent along with each tip!
That’s cool
