FYI, I told Quillette about Twetch since they wrote a piece on social media tragedy of the commons. I said you’re working to fix it. I did not mention bitcoin since most won’t understand.

“... numerous harms have already arisen from the fact that someone else sponsors our screen time.”

The reason why I did not mention bitcoin when I commented on their piece, is because in the greater public, it doesn’t have the best reputation. Many people see it as a ponzi and a scam, so this must be corrected with legitimate and value generating use.

And just in case anyone is confused, I didn’t I’d not write the article, I did comment on it though to bring attention to the fact that some are actually solving the problem and it can only be solved with micropayments.
