Eventually, user fees will begin a race towards zero as a result of competition.
When that time comes, will we see inter-platform inter-operability? Or walled gardens?
The answer will be measured against profit and we know what will win

um so what's going on with the competition now, why is this posted here and not weiblock, why is weiblock totally losing with lower prices .... twetch is like very slightly better interface i guess, but significantly more expensive ... where competition is

marketing? I don't know much about the approaches and campaigns of the different services, but I just looked at weiblock briefly and it seems like most weiblock users are posting in Chinese. Lack of language silos might be a deterrent.

My feeling is that they're both basically empty. Twetch has gotten a biiiiiiit of a viral bump and a bit of a conversation started and WeiBlock hasn't yet at all. But also zooming out from that neither has gotten popular at all and nothing's happening yet.

Real conversation is not found by trawling a feed of everyone's thoughts... Conversation happens in the comments section
Twetch will evolve. It will learn from the worlds most successful analog social communication architectures and scale them

It's not like you NEED to have zillions of people talking about every concept simultaneously in order to have a fun time on social media. But since we've gotten used to that, it feels empty if some place isn't totally constantly exploding with content. Hm.

You certainly don't. The old model of social media relies on creating an addictive platform where all interactions are surveilled, users profiled, and insights sold.
Twetch is raw. It's a room half full of people. But it's fundamentally better.
