@777 taught me one thing: people's attention gets easily directed towards money, even if the source holds no valuable information or knowledge to them.
Twetch doesn't fix this.
I'd like @24 thoughts on this.

@852 please fix your mention system!
Could that simply be a reflection of the reality that money is an abstract of something everyone values: time
While the sub-set of valuable things that attention might be drawn to appeal to fewer people
so we should hold lots of money in cooperatives that deserve attention
Having ways to value info doesn't change the fact that viral messaging attacks our weakest common points. https://twetch.app/t/3d10dbe10a2f211df86e8a4f21d7f13b770aea538ef611a283d5051198c13296

When making money off social interactions becomes the goal you have lost the benefit of real social interaction
Greed
How do we fix this? Could there still be a balance where users are a bit less incentivised by greed and more incentivised for genuine social interactions? Or does money spoil it no matter the incentive?
Move to where there is no internet...LOL
Money spoils nearly everything now. Not sure you can go back. People are not as woke as they used to be. Advertising and fluoride :) has them believing money and AI fixes everything. A lazy bunch...I swear.
Twetch could show the important stuff to us. I want to see how often some of these "content creators" like or comment on other threads. That way I can avoid helping to "fund" the ones that just come here to earn
I personally think broadening demographics of user base is key here. The sample on twetch currently seems fairly narrow.
Being able to find and subscribe to long discussions more easily might help. But... how do you define genuine social interaction?
Pardon my intrusion, by the way, but I find this subject interesting.
One way is fees should be a fraction of what they are. Replying and liking should not cost more that moving a million dollars. The idea of making money off social interaction is a joke. Certain things we do require getting paid for...NOT social media.
Except that making money off social interaction was a real phenomena even prior to the invention of the printing press.
What is the alternative? The voluntary tip model, of which twetch rakes enough to keep the lights on?
Thanks just remember that money won't buy happiness. You have to think about your whole life to be happy, not just money.
you fix it
