I'm totally on board with the idea for them to try it. At the very least, it would be some validation to those that kept complaining about "Social Dilemma" stuff and it would show that you can have a viable business if your network focuses more on quality than quantity.
The only thing that baffles me is that it seems that people do not want to pay for the service of social media. People don't mind paying their phone or water bills, but for some strange reason using an internet service that requires an infinite amount of bandwidth and storage (not to mention human effort in moderation and feature development) should either be free or have some other ulterior motivation to justify its price tag.
- Nextgrid 3y agoIt's not clear that people do not want to pay for it - none of the major social media network people want to be on have ever offered a paid option that would disable ads/dark patterns or add valuable features. The very few social networks that may have tried this were too small to matter even as free services, let alone paid, so no surprise it didn't work out.
