every human has a finite amount of attention to give every day a like is a reflex. it has the lowest activation energy past scrolling itself. and yet only 5-20% of social media users like content. on speculative platforms, every piece of content offers a financial choice, a calculation. potential cost vs potential gain. a social feed becomes a feed of financial decisions. energy wanes, attention fractures. how many times a day can you weigh the current market cap and try to predict the future attention on each piece of content you see before deciding to buy or scroll to the next? there's a reason social behemoths are all built upon a design hyperoptimized to reduce friction as a ux person, i love experimentation. but what exact hypotheses are we working on here? who are we building for? it’s certainly not the billions of humans effortlessly scrolling instagram and twitter and tossing a like here and there

The amount of income is different in each platform, maybe one day Warpcast will become one of the top platforms and people will be able to make a lot of money on it.

income potential would correlate with content creation - the more rewards available, the more effort people will put in so you might get increased user stickiness at the beginning, but they'll churn out faster. *especially* if they experience financial loss
