it’s not about content or people… those are two sides of the same coin & we don’t get more of those coins until the ecosystem & frame hub materialize & the flywheel backfills we already used up our allotment & they left so it’s no longer about people or “interesting content;” it now about good tech that captures attention & spins outward into a meta then more people come; THEN we get more content i don’t know why we continue to look at a crypto-native social-first platform as a “social network that normal people are going to use one day” they are not & it is not; it’s a CRYPTO-NATIVE PLATFORM that is social-FIRST; NOT social as a core value prop it’s about crypto, devs, tech & markets that much is made abundantly clear right from the sign-up funnel & as result, 90%+ of normal people will never cross that bridge further the 10% that do will immediately get hit with suggested follows… who are all crypto people… so if crypto is not their cup of tea, they are done day 1

they are NOT here for content NO news breaks here (we have like 2 journalists...); the academics churned; the “influencer” group is stale; the artists are on rodeo or zora; the thinkbois are on x; even the people who built communities here in feb/march have churned because there is no distribution in other words, much of our CRYPTO TAM has ALREADY came here & left so how do we get them back? i assure you it is NOT through highlighting more of the SAME content that caused them to call us “linkedin” in the first place it is done through fringe tech & economic alignment… JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE IN CRYPTO you do not get millions of revved up, money hungry, pfp-using autists excited by sharing sacagawea quotes on resilience you get them excited by pushing the boundaries & narratives of the space & inviting them into the possibilities of changing the world that has absolutely nothing to do with content unless we’re talking about tokenomics or other technicalities that they find exciting
