Leaving aside the deck and focusing on the business idea, do people really want to have a different social network (column) for every part of their life? And every influencer they follow? A paid social network option might be nice to avoid advertising but paying a subscription to every ‘column’ I want to follow seems a stretch. FWIW I avoid almost all social media, but know plenty of people who can’t live without their InstaFaceTwitReddit fix a few times each day and can’t imagine them paying for the privilege.
- dano 7y agoI have upwards of nine chat apps installed. Most adults I know use WhatsApp. My friends from out in China use WeChat. Line for friends in parts of Asia, slack, discord, Quassel (IRC), etc. In each of these services I have distinct and separate peer groups. The topic is clear, the group is attractive to join, and the desire to remain connected keeps things civil. This is my current situation and likely to be the future for me. It certainly is quieter and more relevant than just about any other type of social interaction.
