in your opinion, which is most likely to serve as the text-based social "public service" (mass market) over the next 3-5 years?

the question is which hub is the most performant when encumbered with as many of them. e.g. who indexes the web without google and "dead internet" filler?

are you saying that you think it's a technical / scaling question?

yes, also not unknown answer, question of "Big Tech" capital. saw this take (that I don't agree w/): https://twitter.com/evan_van_ness/status/1678475045062975498 ultimately, how to upfront curate the frontpage between necessary parties to have anything viable enough to scale. doesn't necessarily translate to IRL econ

Evan asserts that it's about having a really good alpha stage for ideas, & that might be true at application layer. it's very far from accurate for capex constraints in economy of atoms, & question of social media is how the content consumption is monetized by behavior change (mostly ads, but sometimes collabs).

If I'm understanding your argument, I think Threads is most likely to fulfill that goal by simply having access to the largest market with the most detailed user data and with users highly responsive to advertisers. They have likely already hit critical mass (until web3 replaces them π ) I'm not a Threads user btw.
