When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people who’ve been quietly doing this work for years (decades!) ended up being the ones who welcomed everyone over, as always.
@anildash The docs from the Twitter/Musk lawsuit actually showed that was something Musk was thinking of -- but he wanted people to pay for blockchain tweets. Lol. He abandoned the idea. Web3 is a bit in crisis. Play to earn isn't working out that well -- was working on a white paper this week that touches on the collapse of play-to-earn. I also think it's a values issue. People don't want to invest in another corporate owned platform.
