The analogy is chilling but a good read. I think it’s gonna boil down to clients with principles and integrated with smarts features, business models and use cases that will generate the returns as well as ppl in the team that can look into user adoption Vs. cheap thrills.

I’m neither a fan of ads not VCs, but

- On adverts - ads are not bad, but when adverts dominate how developers built, tracks users, manipulates users then it’s no good. There are ideas floating around on how the good is absorb and bad hurried.

- On VCs - capitalism is not bad but 99% shitty and milking it at everyone’s expense but there would be that 1% who would genuinely help developers and builders

But more important, users will eventually dominate social media so slightly different from the email concept above for e.g high influencing individuals and clients can work on marketing partnership, relays can be exclusive.

Relays can also become channels based on interests (aka your satellite/cable tv channel selection packages who know). If there are marketplaces built, clients don’t determine which users have access as users own their own IDs, but clients can make it more attractive to use their platform. There are just so many what if’s right now - still too early and many areas yet to be explored
