Hi all,
First of all, I would like to state that I want bbs to succeed. I have been around for 9 months now and I love the project. Now my concerns:
There is a concept that was created not many years ago, that I like a lot: the attention market. Like any other market, the market of attention is somehow finite: it is made of 16 hours per day times all the people in the world, say from 15 years onwards. A subset of that is the market of digital attention: all of the hours that everyone in the world is hooked up in internet. There are many attempts to grow this market: cheaper internet access, mobile devices, even auto piloted cars. Currently the market of digital attention is quite mature and saturated: if you want to spend time in a new social network, you need to take it out from something (digital) else. If bbs wants to grow, this has to come mainly at the cost of eating up (digital attention) market share from other social media or games or something else. Hence, bbs is not creating market, it is fighting for an already taken market. In order to succeed in this scenario, you just need to be better than others. Hence, for a normal user : what is the bbs value proposition that is better than the other social media?
Maybe I am too old fashioned, but the web3 narrative for an average user is futile. Help me understanding what am I not getting here. The other thing was money and the fact that you were buying posts that you could convert into an NFT eventually. Now only a small portion is making small money, but the majority will not earn money… and the NFT thing is also no longer there.
Now that the money thing is gone, that you are no longer buying posts, I am missing a clear differentiation strategy… unless there are continued events to support and incentivize non partnered members and simple readers. If we are going to compete on content quality, then current paid content creators have to find it economically attractive to move from their current social media to bbs.
Am I missing anything important?
