Moxiesplaining Journal Day 4: Valuing Attention The 90-9-1 rule of participation inequality in social networks is well-known. 90% lurk; 9% contribute occasionally; 1% create. While creators (1%) get the fanfare, *all* these roles contribute valuable time + attention to the network. Moxie Fan Tokens can: - reward the value contributed by occasional contributors + lurkers - reduce the grind for creators Any of these roles can buy (or be gifted) Fan Tokens to align their self-interest with the success of entities in the network. Everyone can opt into the rewards loop. Not just top creators. This reduces systemic pressure to compete for limited attention. Lurkers who don't want to be creators can hold Fan Tokens and just enjoy lurking. Creators + occasional contributors who hold Fan Tokens can contribute as they see fit, and take breaks when they want. Brilliant. (Moxiesplaining Journal is a daily window into my observations, learnings, and the view of Moxie from where I sit as a writer + editor).

Thanks, Danica... another insightful journal entry! Do you know how the 90-9-1 participation model stack up with actual Warpcast statistics? When we talk about "creation" - what counts in the WC ecosystem, in your opinion? Are people who, say, regularly cast photos in /itookaphoto or memes in /memes "creators," or would only the "top-ranked" individuals such as those channel's human moderators and some of the bigger name photographers/memelords&ladies who cast there count? Are there any metrics you can share on what the standard is for being a creator in the WC ecosystem, and how many people meet that bar? Where that number sits given the current population (i.e. >=< 1%) and what the standard for "occasional contribution" consists of? Longer-form/insightful comments, well-liked personal casts, etc? Finally, is it correct to assume that the 90-9-1 only counts users "active" on some scale, and not accounts which have been inactive for "__ days" - or does the lurker number also encompass inactive accounts?

Good questions, but I don't have any good answers for you. I'm not the right person to consult for insights into WC metrics or statistics. The fact that Fan Tokens enable all roles to participate in the rewards makes me less concerned with the specifics of the distinctions you're asking about. What I find most notable is that with Fan Tokens it isn't necessary for everyone to compete to be in the 1% if they hope to earn. I think that's a really big (and refreshing) change!
