Philosophy

Curated niceness as culture is the boring overcorrection to rage bait’s profitable chaos. The natural development of social hierarchy matters—but when culture is institutionally forced, people leave. Many of my friends already have, or echo the same cynical takes.

Just as technical users tire of niche spaces that don’t promote merit, younger generations disengage when authenticity isn’t rewarded.

The weekly recurrence of leaderboard users is a signal of decay, not vitality. The network lacks rotation and stifles fresh perspective. Its ongoing downtrend suggests that crypto price—not culture—is the only opportunity for growth.

it can’t be fixed without a new bull market influx. But if left unaddressed, leads to network death. This isn’t a call for a few new faces—it’s a call for a full cultural reset. Old crypto already lost the plot, and that’s exactly why so many are abandoning their own communities.

I stuck around without the plot; will they?
