I have a hunch that contextual persuasion might be the eventual "ads" product we see emerge as many of these companies seek to finally turn a profit. Mainly because of how effective I think
it'd be, and the potential it'd have
to turn the whole ad industry upside down.

Don't get me wrong, the NFT trend brought its fair share of exploitative, unbearable assholes out of the woodwork. But for at least a little while, and especially in its earliest stages, it was interesting and exciting seeing its impact on the way people think about building communities online.

I embrace the idea that not everyone needs to be in the same room anymore. And that doesn't necessarily mean culture is shrinking. Maybe it's even expanding, just in ways that make it harder to see the whole picture.

It's an increasingly recurrent reminder of how fragmented the landscape is, and the silos that exist within it. We get fed what the algos think we’ll engage with, and the result is often being completely oblivious to major cultural moments happening outside the bubble we often forget we exist in.

I can't think of anything more on brand for you than "hunter of rare starter packs."

Spot on. It didn't take Threads long to realize what a problem that was going to be for them. New features incoming, but we'll see how they match up. 👀
