The primary reason most people use social products (and stick around) is their friends are using it. This is why invites and contact upload are core UX to any successful social network. The secondary reason is there is entertaining or interesting content. This is why algorithmic feeds have won. Nothing else matters.

I do believe there is a 3rd that you are way over discounting: 3. Making Money True for Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Warpcast and made even more powerful with onchain social

Social media has evolved to the second reason. At the very beginning, people were using Facebook and other apps to contact their friends. Now they are focused on entertainment. There's an interesting article worth reading. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2024/02/01/the-end-of-the-social-network

OR - you DON’T use the social products because your friends/family are on them. Segmentation is important. You want certain people to see certain things but not the other. Hence need for a certain level of anonymity. I prefer my social presence to be removed from non crypto people by using web3 social 🙃

Perhaps, it would be worthwhile to revisit Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

IMO:Perception evolves; TikTok show it's about connecting with like-minded individuals, not just friends. The focus shifts from necessity to shared interests, beyond initial social circles. FB inception predated widespread smartphone use, necessitating friend connections!

You've nailed it! The social aspect is crucial in retaining users, and having an engaging feed keeps them coming back. It's all about connection and content.

Agreed RE importing contacts, an import twitter followers feature here on warpcast would be really sweet.
