the new open internet we’re building shouldn’t be compared to web2 apps all the time

instead, it should stand out because of the benefits users get from choosing the onchain ones

building checkr.social | writing tomu.xyz | nf.td/tomu

patreon vs hypersub
substack vs paragraph

a creator will choose the onchain ones for subs and mint rewards

culture & alignment helps if onchain eats the world but if the diff bw web2 & web3 product is 10m users & 2 buttons - it's a hard sell & easy to copy.

> web3 products have an edge to closely work with users, communities & take in feedback to find & build better, long-term edges

Good examples.

What if you can simply tip on Substack (for example with mask plugin) and they even add one donation button? Then, there’s not much difference between web 2 and web 3 product and it remains a game of “what has the best distribution”.
