Prediction: Within 18 months, 99% of high-signal content, including content on social networking sites, will be behind a paywall (incl. token gating). It's the only way to survive the coming deluge of content created with AI. Plan accordingly.

I'll counter with a different timeframe & scope. within 24-36 months, 90% of human interaction will be prescribed groupchat (including all dialogue w/ interfaces), 10% being wild mods. idk what to call this other than a "router heuristic". a 10x reduction of cost for spearphishing/cognitive attacks, in addition to the kind of competition google/microsoft/apple/FOSS will play for device-attention share, both reinforce some pattern wrapping 99% parasocial/entertainment/vocational value much like the smartphone does, only more involved & intended for protection/augmentation. in other words, it may get pretty totalitarian w/ current soft tech & growing incentive to rotate/capture security, most of which may decide something more siloed than we currently expect & future generations take for granted.

tbh it’s the only way it makes sense for crypto networks

Seems like this would cut you off from a massive potential audience though. Maybe if you use preview content to acquire new readers, but you can just as easily pay for the content and then crawl it. So, gating only goes so far to protect you.

Interesting. Niche communities produce a disproportionate amount of high signal stuff and have survived the social web without turning private. I don't expect this dynamic to change, at least not so fast. In small scale places, human moderators squish spambots manually, they'll remove (useless) AI the same way. AI doesn't improve the incentive to spam these high signal, low volume hangouts; if anything you'd spend more on tokens or compute than with traditional spam. Maybe AI evidences the fundamental flaw of corporate social (when it comes to high signal): delegating curation to algorithms does not scale. The quality of discourse only degrades further and further. "sort by most recent" + human moderation + longform is still the most sensible approach.
