Social media can’t effectively be monetized without sapping it of most of what makes it usable and interesting.
This has been the problem since the earliest days and its why it was always indie operators or ISPs running these as part of a protocol not some giant cloud database with one person holding the key. Whats happened the last 20 years is VC funded madness to replace the commons.
