The only problem is externality pricing.

What's different between your community and strangers is exactly what defines the two: you don't know each other. And of course you can't know each other, there are too many people in the world for you to give them your limited attention.

It's said that Dunbar's number is that limit: at about 150 people you can't attend to all the members of a community anymore.

And with that word you can hopefully see how the economic system of the future will look. 

Something has fundamentally changed: we're no longer bounded by attention. We can spin it up for pennies.

What this means is that the bounds of our communities can now grow, and that means that we'll go back to the more information rich ways of tracking contributions: stories not monies.

It means of course that the crypto people were totally right, in the future we'll use tokens to totally transform our economic system. Just not the tokens they expected.

Question about thread replies and how ranking works. I love that we can just + to add more casts to make a thread. I hate that replies by default stack on the top level post and bury the rest of the thread.

- do replies only boost ranking if they are on the top level cast of a thread? 

- could threads default to adding comments to the last cast in the thread? 

- could you aggregate likes and replies from the entire thread? Like if 1 person likes all 5 casts in the thread it's only 1 factor of boost. But if 5 ppl like any of the casts in the thread it counts as a factor of 5 instead of just however many were on the top cast? Don't want to make threads overpowered, but rather just stop punishing them with bad UX.

Making threads more accessible would greatly improve deeper exploration into topics, imo.

I don't know, I've been experimenting with threads because it's an interesting format when it's clean.

Soon as replies start coming in tho it can make a mess.

Paragraph articles are nice cuz you can 1-click read them without leaving the feed. 

There's no clear answer yet.

I don't know how threads work on Warpcast, but I maybe should publish this as an essay instead
