Idea for Twitter/FC

Charge based on # of followers

Up to 10k followers - free
up to 100k - $100 / month
up to 1M - $10,000 / month

Every 10x in follower count, 100x the price

Thoughts?

Interesting idea. If social graph is decentralized / on the protocol — what happens when another client decides “your margin is my opportunity?”

Charging on follow count seems a bit more like tax instead of a fee for value / utility provided. Open to disagreement

TLDR — agree 

1/ Agree w/ the web2 analogy. To take it a bit deeper, FB charges for more distribution not for using the product per month. E.g. you can make a FB post, know it’ll _not_ go to _all_ your 1M followers organically and then pay to boost that post.

the value of twitter for a creator is one thing: distribution

distribution has costs. the more followers, the more costs

IMO charging for distro is natural, and justified. also, it is already the norm (pay for google/facebook distro)

i was thinking this should be enforced at protocol level, but admittedly this does seem hard to do
