Perplexity is already doing exactly that headline says just you can choose other models. Gross reality if paid influence over result is invisible to user. I would 100% exit to clean model & agent if given a choice

1) Ability to follow someone but hide some of their channel posts in feed 2) I see people still that I don’t follow posting to channels I’m not in, forced me to block them 3) would love to block or filter out app-posted “I just earned blah blah”

On Amazon you can get a portable ozone generator for ~50 bucks. Drill a small hole in a bin and put books paper vinyl record sleeves any thing like that. Ozone destroys bacteria mold that scent & breaks down quickly just to oxygen. You do need to be out of the room for an hour or two after running or run it in a garage etc but works wonders. Search YouTube for more info.

I think that’s part of the reason Base is leaning into the rebranding to “on chain” instead.

May want to pair with home inventory as well, last couple of years in my local market housing is still very competitive. High rates keeping people in place, leading both to low inventory & low mortgage demand.

No “dot AI” bubble here, nothing to see, move along, move along. Oh and nothing to learn from 2000-2002 either, that’ll never happen again because people & markets are much smarter now & much more interconnected through massive ETFs. This is fine. And normal. Move along.

Similar to what happened in China when I was there. 1st Phone, 2nd messaging app, 3rd wallet in messaging app then 4th mini apps from literally everyone because it was most prevalent & direct access to daily spending. Even utility companies built mini apps in wechat & alipay. By 2020 I can’t think of a single thing I couldn’t do from within wechat or Alipay.

Not my experience, I see posts from channels of people I unfollowed specifically as they were annoying & still am not following when I see on home. Also wish I could follow someone but exclude some of their irrelevant to me channel posts.

I wasn’t recently active, taking a break. Mostly I read & reply, not cast generally. I felt I was completely suppressed after the channels update, with all replies hidden below the fold which then would get zero engagement whereas when I first joined I would always get some positive feedback & conversation with caster & others. The combo of that plus not being able to cast into channels, lowered distribution of any casts I might make felt like I would never get this account to a place of getting interactions & followers. Need to focus on getting new users and users with low follow count more exposure to make the site interesting. Otherwise they try a few times, get little result and bounce.

Lived in China for 10+ yrs. The new social app playbook there was always to give new users attention to build following quickly. It works amazingly well as existing networks are very hard to break into. Now with channel change, my casts only show to my followers (none) and my replies are hidden by default (show more replies) so even harder to get followers. So it feels like the opposite of what a new network ought to be doing for new users.
