Problem is that incumbents have won distribution
Even if we build something more value aligned from a philosophical level, it behooves you to publish on YouTube since you can reach 50k people. Whereas on Pinetree, it would be a fraction (for now)
So the only way any of these crypto social products can beat incumbents is to use crypto markets for monetization, in the hopes that it will lead to growth and help on the distribution front
That’s not to say that the current incarnation of creator coins or token products is good — it’s clearly not resonating as well as it could. But the broader point is aside from tokens / markets, what else are we gonna do to attract creators like yourself to use our products? Because as it stands, revealed preferences is to keep using Twitter / YouTube / TikTok, etc.
