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.
