Every new social network should be thinking this way. 

You’ll never build a Facebook-sized social graph on the new internet. Everything is too open and moves too fast. 

Instead, build an economy that drives value for those who join your network. 

Economy > Audience

Most of my thinking here comes from the fact that the Internet is causing the world to fragment/fractalize. 

We had “peak centralization” pre-internet, then we had peak centralized internet before Covid… and our now experiencing its fragmentation.
