I miss token gating. Tbh I don't really get how Paragraph is different from substack et all on the web3 dimension other than pieces getting parked on ARweave in perpetuity

What do you miss about token-gating? We loved token-gating as a way to carve out differentiation, but it got very little usage (by readers *and* writers), and generated a large wave of consistent maintenance & issues. Still trying to figure out why & what we could have done differently... very possible we re-introduce it down the road.

I didn't get to the point where I was actually ready to use it tbh . I had an aspiration to use it as a way to have an inner circle for meetups and the like. Big daydream was a sort of revolutionary era tavern of sorts. So perhaps not the most helpful feedback since it was more an inchoate idea I was excited to run a few experiments down the road with rather than something super clear that I knew what to do with or was actively using.

Appreciate this feedback! TBH, this was a very common theme — a lot of writers had some intention or desire to use it at some point, but no one was really using it today. I love the idea of "revolutionary era tavern", some kind of close nit group of people that writers can bring together. If we reintroduced gating down the road, maybe there's a way to bring it back that drives toward that type of vibe.

🙏 Do you guys have a vision blog, post or roadmap on GitHub or something to get a gist of where you guys are going? The new feels like an improvement though still wondering about the web3 distinctiveness and really key compelling reason for paragraph over Substack ghost et all
