half-baked* hot take: wei's status-as-a-service is a boomer theory that is becoming increasingly outdated *not high, just writing stream of consciousness yes, status-seeking behavior will always play a role in social media but it should not be the foundation upon which we build the future. as we grasp social media's psychological impact (a la haidt re: mental health issues, addictions, misinformation, etc), user behaviors and motivations will evolve against it. they already are. there's growing preference for intentional disconnection (opal, ~40% of users take digital detoxes), niche community platforms (substack, tyb), ephemeral content (bereal, stories), and private forms of sharing (locket, snapchat; dark social makes up 80% of outbound sharing). 88% of social users cite connecting with friends as their top motivation. what's the top reason for internet friendship? shared interests. and what matters far more than likes or followers in shared interest communities? quality and depth of content. wdyt?

It depends on the social media site I think each one is a very different demographic clawing its way to the top. This one(Warpcast) is entirely driven by tipping coins now. It’s really tough to address this issue without recognizing that one thing has shifted everything on farcaster. Nothing seems real even when the intentional is good on here.

FYI I got excited about tipping when I joined in Jan and then lost interest bc it interfered with my aim to be authentic here. I think Moxie is much better bc the economic documentation of relationships which are inextricably linked to status one way of another is much more discrete.
