yes! this! and the more friendly the monetization becomes to normies, the further we can expand this boundary 🤌

if you want to learn more about the super ambitious and long-term goals behind @microsub, take a look at https://darkforest.metalabel.com/dfc (the print edition is sold out, but you can look up the essays included in the anthology online)

in effect, we aim to help supplant the entrenched adtech model with a much less hostile and egalitarian version of the Internet (the "cozyweb")

big h/t to @vgr for coining that term, and also for making me aware of the book – which includes his excellent essay, The Extended Internet Universe (https://studio.ribbonfarm.com/p/the-extended-internet-universe)

wanted to make sure you saw this (i think you in particular would enjoy any of these essays you haven’t already read)

We're going to start seeing a wave of crypto-curious creators coming - I've had almost a dozen friends follow me here when I started talking about it elsewhere.  

Once they're established and figuring out new ways to monetize here, they'll start to bring over their core audiences, and then we'll see a wave of joins and the economy beginning to scale.
