I see, but the question I ask myself is why it always has to be about the money? What we are trying to do is just there for the actual use-case, so users don't generate any money by using it, and they also don't have to buy any tokens to do so. I'm not familiar with the platform you have mentioned, but just by what you said there it looks like that might have been the primary cause of their demise.
I think's a new product must provide a new values to the world. Without new value that is useful for people, then who will use it. The free social media has been used by people on Facebook, Twitter and others and I think they are irreplaceable. There are also social media that can make money, such as YouTube and TikTok and people love them very much. I think the social media that make money for the peoples are very promising. Ss we know that good paying jobs are very hard to find nowadays. Will people leave you when they can make money even with their jokes or even when they are lying down? Maybe you should combine features so that people don't get bored and can accommodate many desires. Let people express and get paid for their content, that's what people expect nowadays.
