itās not about content or peopleā¦ those are two sides of the same coin & we donāt get more of those coins until the ecosystem & frame hub materialize & the flywheel backfills we already used up our allotment & they left so itās no longer about people or āinteresting content;ā it now about good tech that captures attention & spins outward into a meta then more people come; THEN we get more content i donāt know why we continue to look at a crypto-native social-first platform as a āsocial network that normal people are going to use one dayā they are not & it is not; itās a CRYPTO-NATIVE PLATFORM that is social-FIRST; NOT social as a core value prop itās about crypto, devs, tech & markets that much is made abundantly clear right from the sign-up funnel & as result, 90%+ of normal people will never cross that bridge further the 10% that do will immediately get hit with suggested followsā¦ who are all crypto peopleā¦ so if crypto is not their cup of tea, they are done day 1

they are NOT here for content NO news breaks here (we have like 2 journalists...); the academics churned; the āinfluencerā group is stale; the artists are on rodeo or zora; the thinkbois are on x; even the people who built communities here in feb/march have churned because there is no distribution in other words, much of our CRYPTO TAM has ALREADY came here & left so how do we get them back? i assure you it is NOT through highlighting more of the SAME content that caused them to call us ālinkedinā in the first place it is done through fringe tech & economic alignmentā¦ JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE IN CRYPTO you do not get millions of revved up, money hungry, pfp-using autists excited by sharing sacagawea quotes on resilience you get them excited by pushing the boundaries & narratives of the space & inviting them into the possibilities of changing the world that has absolutely nothing to do with content unless weāre talking about tokenomics or other technicalities that they find exciting

that starts with leaning HEAVY into turing this place into a dev playground iāve said this before & iāll say it again: devs should NEVER churn from fc; every dev in the space SHOULD WANT to be here they should ALWAYS take priority over any āinfluencerā-type yapping about ācontentā there are no more than a few thousand of us hereā¦ so iām not really sure who weāre even influencing at this pointā¦ the focus NEEDS to be on the tech & the ecosystem that it spurs, which in turn will bring in more people, more devs, more projects AND THEN more content this notion that weāre building ten years out, or that weāre in our early facebook days is ludicrous 3 years into launch no more than this notion that we shouldnāt invest in the devs hereās today because theyāre just generating āhypeā that will āfade away in a few monthsā anyway is this really how we look at our devs? do we really not realize how much we need frames to grow? or apps? or tokens? or an ecosystem?
