Prediction: This all ends with the average person using social media (nostr) to follow/interact with only a couple hundred people who they also meet with IRL. There are very few large accounts and almost no one makes a living from social media content. Basically, a very long road to end up with an improved version of how life was before the internet.

A beautiful vision. I think we’ll still have influencers, but increasing I expect them to be philosophers navigating through the new world of exponentials. Think Terrence McKenna and Alan Watts. People need thoughtful answers to questions like, what does it mean to be human, to be mortal, wtf is this and wtf is that.
I agree which is why I said almost no one. Just like pre-internet where very few authors made a living writing/talking it will end with only a few. The difference being it will be organic with no publisher/middleman making the decision for us. Everyone will have a voice, 98.4% of content creation will be volunteer work is my guess.
