The nodes should pay for link previews to be generated. Pennies. It wouldn't cost that much considering how few people use DeSo. Yet, it'll create a more feature rich environment.

Plus, websites make note of referring traffic.

We should humble ourselves remembering that even the disciples fled Jesus during his time of arrest and persecution.

Happy Palm Sunday and Holy Week, brothers and sisters.

Way I'm thinking about #NFTs today: visual keys.

QUESTION: Why are you still here? 🤠

In order to reduce the hysteria I believe most in developed countries are suffering (a result of the mass psychosis that media and corporations place us under), I believe we need immutable headlines trackers.

If we can see how a story (narrative or claim) develops, we'll be able to punish gaslighters and false prophets and reward contrarians who happen to be correct with attention.

Fact tracking instead of fact checking? Claim tracking?

The Attention Economy needs sophistication.

Twitter banning people again!

Influence is something that you can act on or wait and cultivate.

It responds well coupled with momentum but eventually runs dry before needing new fuel.

Be prudent and meaningful.

"Social media" that survives will be one that's more social and less media focused.

You can see the longtail of the media's harmful programming when you see people write statuses that force engagement or buy it cheaply.

Otherwise, social media dies with a cringe generation.

I want more controversial activists and dissident thinkers on BitClout.

I want BitClout to send up a signal in the sea of social media noise.

I do not want to replicate old systems and tired ways.

Social media in a peer-to-peer environment is more an economics question than technical question.

That makes the blockchain appealing until you realize the inherit technical challenges that come with using it for content.

Good economics will eliminate spam and incentivize good.

Do not give up!

God bless each of you this Sunday morning! Remember, you were created for a purpose. 🙌🏾

Don’t steal from artists.

In the comments below, tell me what problem BITCLOUT solves.

The most popular cluster of answers will be the demographic we need to target for onboarding.

It should also determine how we might better refine existing features or identity hidden issues.

Design for humans, not ego.

More features
More complexity
Less retention
Fewer new users

Adding unique features, adds complexity and it becomes difficult for the community to train new users.

If both retention and new user growth suffer, something is *wrong.*
