imo friendtech is the worst omen for social and society. my #1 critique of social is that it’s turned us into dopamine addicts, consumed by competition, constantly projecting an image for others moreso than for ourselves. friendtech takes this and… financializes it? and some of us are excited by it? i’m out.

Did you ever use bitclout? This cast is a much better description of that iteration of this concept For me personally, Friend.tech is more about supporting friends and having fun then it is a financial game (not that can’t be your main focus or purpose for using the app)

@adam-
Your take and @hillis are both spot on. This app, like any social app de jour all follow the same patterns. A meteoric rise in initial interest, followed by a lull where degans control the narrative until the ratio of degans to average users is askew. https://twitter.com/JonathanHillis/status/1692882390077567139?s=20

Yeah, I don't really know yet. I've dipped my toe, but I'm not sure I 'get' it. I'm exploring if this can be an income stream for me as a creator, but I currently fail to make that work. Not sure this time that I am the issue with that.

whenever i have strong moralistic views against a new popular idea as i did with BitClout and now FriendTech, i get a knee jerk reaction of feeling somewhat defeated, that we are growing further and further apart from the things that matter. but…

Friend tech actually very related to your cast a few weeks back critiquing Balaiji’s dystopian bent… Blockchains enable many wonderful and terrible things… the future depends on what we build

If it makes you feel any better, the friendtech UI is garbage, so the dopamine hit you get from using it is pretty limited. Aside from the financial aspect, there's no real incentive to use it. I don't see it lasting for long.
