The problem with current content coins is that coin price typically tracks attention, and even if you believe in something early, and it gains 10x attention, in order to benefit, you need to actively watch price and sell, which is an active and very financial activity, not suited to the average consumer.
Perhaps the trading of content coins is only done by less than 1% of users, that do it actively - similar to the users that moderate reddit or wikipedia.
I think an alternative is also possible: new content coin mechanisms. For example, where you can only buy, and you don't need to sell to make money; By buying, you're just making a bet that attention will outperform the expectation. It turns curation into a market by rewarding early conviction on what people will like.
This is also why I agree with @jessepollak that pump fun is not net bad - I think it accelerates ecosystem token mechanism innovation that will produce categories of new products and protocols 0 reply
