Those are all great and I'd love to see them too.
But along the lines of general user experience, the central feature I have in mind is the time-based feed. No engagement algorithms, no suggestions, just things happening as they happen. Anything that goes viral does so organically with no push from the system.
The irony of all social media is they all start with an ad-free time-based feed to make people fall in love with the app, then once they reach a critical mass they switch to an engagement algorithm to addict them and pump up views for advertisers.
- BlackjackCF 2y agoI think it's only feasible to go with this "classic web" approach by having it be a paid service.
- emseetech 2y agoYes as mentioned above, a very low cost subscription would be ideal. Taking investment and using the 2010 era growth model would doom the user experience as we’ve seen. A paid service, even at a comically low price, would be a hard sell at first but that could change as people see the value.
