Decentralized social platforms aim to return data ownership and monetization rights to users. Business potential lies in alternative revenue models—creator tokens, ad-free subscriptions, or community governance. However, network effects strongly favor incumbents like Twitter or TikTok. Decentralized models must offer differentiated value, not just ideological appeal. If they unlock new forms of engagement and ownership, they may capture niches and expand. Otherwise, they risk remaining experiments without mainstream traction. The business case hinges on utility, not ideals.
