every human has a finite amount of attention to give every day

a like is a reflex. it has the lowest activation energy past scrolling itself. and yet only 5-20% of social media users like content. 

on speculative platforms, every piece of content offers a financial choice, a calculation. potential cost vs potential gain.

a social feed becomes a feed of financial decisions. 

energy wanes, attention fractures. how many times a day can you weigh the current market cap and try to predict the future attention on each piece of content you see before deciding to buy or scroll to the next?

there's a reason social behemoths are all built upon a design hyperoptimized to reduce friction

as a ux person, i love experimentation. but what exact hypotheses are we working on here? who are we building for? it’s certainly not the billions of humans effortlessly scrolling instagram and twitter and tossing a like here and there

There's also an issue here of the amount of interaction required to maintain mindshare/relational position, energy going into posts etc, that quickly dissipate downstream with very little stickiness/limited curation.

Channels currently don't seem to serve to provide those places, and thus it can feel like a lot of comment/post/interaction time is quickly blown to the wind, vs accumulating into a large store of value...
