I don't particularly like the current Internet. A lot of traffic is captured by social with the intention promote oneself. Yes, I am part of the problem as well. Yet, the current version of the Internet values outrage over quality tren

I ran into the same problem when building finclout's feedback loop. In my opinion, there is no way around keyword matching for search. As a result SEO is unlikely to be preventable. However, if the feedback can be collected at scale an

My main concerns with Web3 are that it is "pay to play" in many aspects and it's less democratic than the existing Internet.

Yes, that is correct. finclout is not directly competing with GOOG/FB from a business model but from an attention perspective.

Quite the opposite.

Noted. Will put an example on the page. That might make it easier. The main value proposition is that if you are investing, then you can earn extra money by providing context on recent news for other investors. Currently this is done for

Don't want to appear as spammy, but please have a look at my project finclout.io. Here people are incentivised to moderate and curate content. Thus supporting the build-up of trust and clout. The incentivces are coming through the mon

What finclout does differently here is that there is a clearly defined regulated external incoming stream from Proof of Stake treasuries. That avoids that the project needs to rely on a scammy "need to purchase" and in addition wi

Though provoking article. The main problem that play-to-earn games have is that they need to rely on external cash-inflows to reward the players. This makes them very close to Ponzi schemes or Casino's. If the moral product is to earn

While I agree with you that the Internet was better before Social Media, these service are highly centralized. Although, for most normal users decentral or central doesn't really matter.

Well the post might be meant in satire but I believe that the eyeballs->advertising monetization model is not only inefficient, but also weighs quick to consume crap content over quality content. Earning directly money through gifting&#

That is correct. Yet it doesn't make it good. Customer focused communication even though some indicator tell you to terminate the account should avoid a "The process" situation. This is 2021, we have many amazing communicatio

A fellow Linode aficionado! I had a similar experience as you. You are getting lured in by the free tier, but then this paid additional service is needed and that paid on top. Didn't work for me at all.

The on- and off-ramps into the cryptoverse are still really clunky. But I think we left the point of no return so it will only be a question of time until that is solved as well.

I had installed a Mastodon node during my research for finclout. I stopped after the realization that I don't want to use an inferior of an already existing product. Who in their right mind would? Btw, I have the same problem with the
