Yes. A couple thoughts: zkTLS could be one tool in the toolbag. But the point of zkTLS is to make any HTTPS webpage into an onchain oracle. In many cases the problem is UX friction that makes the experience suck: OAuth flows, API rate limiting, Keybase-esque "verifying my account" tweets, etc. Anything above "upload my contact book" is a heavy lift. The problem isn't technology. For a highly influential Twitter influencer, every second that they spend exploring a new social media app is a second they could have spent on Twitter, so it's -EV for them to try anything new. Social graphs are idiosyncratic. Some KOLs just got lucky by being early and they would never become famous starting from 0 again, these ppl will never switch. Some groups are on Twitter out of convience and have no loyalty, (thinking of scientists, politicos, etc) and were the first to jump & try Mastodon/Bluesky. Same goes for Reddit. All in all, I think we just have to do the hard thing of slowly building a better social graph...and this would be better done if farcaster and bluesky were working together instead of apart.
