i've been begging @br1an.eth to implement token-gating for months. this would take a competent mid-level engineer about half a day to ship, but for brian, 1-2 weeks (so i understand his hesitation). tho making simple calls to an nft contract onchain is a bit over his head, i will nonetheless keep working on him 🫡

anyone who suggests we token-gate fundamentally doesn't understand live-streaming and how difficult it is to get people to show up at a specific time. adding additional constraints to entry is mid IQ.

unlonely is about creating new novel experiences that anyone can enjoy. end of story.

Agree w/ @briang - we've seen token-gating chats in post.tech and friend.tech (and more) and such and it has limited utility even for such a low-effort thing like chatting.

Streaming takes at least 10x the work of chatting, why are you going to kneecap your audience like this?  Honestly feels a lil web2 =x

What features do you want token-gated for community on Unlonely?

/gmfarcaster seems to be doing pretty well with subscribe on /fabric , stream on /unlonely. There is a token-gated VIP chat in Unlonely, but it's not super useful.

Don't agree pt/ft don't apply - they are all about social status (I have access to x).

that's because post.tech and friend.tech and others are anchored around monetization, and not community / sense of belonging / social status. bad comparisons imo.

you don't need to token-gate the entire stream if the stream is just "content", but offer the option to token-gate features
