i worry that the reason why decentralized social has yet to really take off is because the average person doesn’t really care about making money from their content. most people I know are more than happy sharing their random life moments to their private IG account with sub 1000 followers.

the average person also can't make money from their content today.

I think more than that you rarely need to think about your social graph being ripped away from you until it happens I think the latter part people would do on decentralized social too if it was convenient

do we have the infra for it? yes do we have use cases? yes do we have a protocol that rewards all participants? yes does everyone care? no avg users don't even think about that. basically, they don't want to put the effort into making content more appealing to be monetized onchain social won't be much different from that perspective. it will be the big creators that monetize and fans who get rewarded. lurkers, the remaining 90%, will continue to just consume. hope i'm wrong and we find novel experiences that allow everyone to earn money seamlessly

hmmm those same people also consume massive amounts of content posted by creators who do want to monetize. theoretically, better monetized content is of higher quality and thereby stickier. these platforms are more for entertainment than interactive social networks.

I'd argue the business models in blockchain don't exist either. Unless you are in fact a creator, the general social users content is largely in most cases rewarded today for social-fi and shilling or changed behaviour to be rewarded vs. organic. Hopefully if we stack value it helps e.g. Add the ownership of identity on-chain as a contributing factor too so you can take your identity and followers across apps which hasn't landed yet.

I think the thing that hits most is if they want to leave a platform, say because of politics, AI policy or whatever. Building a following or curated IG for years only to walk away is a hard choice that's solved by decentralized social. But most won't think about it until it's too late.

Yeah that's probably a big reason. They're not power users so they're under the illusion that they won't get an money at all for their stuff

Well "decentralized social" is only valuable to people who make money from social media (creator and development). Decentralized social will be more interesting if it unlocks new capabilities that users couldn't do before, such as taking your social graph everywhere you go into different frontends.
