Brace yourself, this episode is a long one for me. Sorry about that.
"Do you think in the future, more people from decentralized platforms like Minds, Nostr etc will give blurt a chance? "The other day @brave-smoke asked me in the Agorise Matrix space:
My intial response was long and very wordy. But I never really answered his question. So I go into much more detail in this podcast. But the short answer is yes they will. But the number of people in the Web3 social media space as a whole is not going to grow anytime soon. In fact real Web3 isn't going to be anything like what we were told. The money thats being thrown at it is currently directing all of it to being Web2.5 with no real innovation, just a bunch of copy cats that are tailoring it their favorite tribal tokens. Then they will be taken over by the big tech governments and CBDC crap. This will drive places like Blurt, Nostr, Minds, Hive, Steem, etc into the underground and force them to either adapt to working over networks such as i2p and Tor through either webapps on those networks or desktop/mobile apps.
But they will most likely be driven off of the clear net as they are today. Big tech's X, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, etc will adapt to the CNDC version of Web2.5 and the vast populace will be fat and happy and will not look for anything better such as Web3.
If you listen to the full podcast episode at the end I also play a new single from my Byte Rebel persona called "Subversion's Iron Grip" that is currently only available on Blurt Media. You can listen to or download it for free at https://blurt.media/w/amhY21yJN4tZZqxp7zzRGe
If you listen really close at the end you will get a tease of the title track of the next Byte Rebel EP "Blood on the Stripes".

I also will gladly accept Blurt tips and up votes.
While I dont pay attention to Hive really at all and only convert it to Blurt, I will gladly accept any tips you throw at me there too.

I didn't log onto element til now, but last night when i came back from work, i saw your video on CG and clicked on it straight away. I listened to the entire thing twice, whilst setting da herb-man free.
Firstly i like to say how nice it is to be able to enjoy a well thought out video response to my question. I really enjoy these video-talks of yours. I hope people listen to this podcast episode because time and again you remind us that web3 is about principles and not the products born out of it. It's a pity that web3 social platforms may never see their heyday again , due to the intrusion of centralized social-platforms into personal lives becoming much more enticing, richly appealing and with restless resolve to blur the lines of the real and the false.
I'm a student of deception, living the life of a magician for 18 years. In the world of Prestidigitation there's a term called "Misdirection", but this is actually a misinterpreted term. The correct nomenclature is "attention control". I used to study Gary Vaynerchuk a lot, reading books of his like "Jab Jab Jab Right Hook" and learning the various ways of manipulating attention/attention control on social media. Through my time in my deceptive-practices i often see the patterns of attention-control being applied to areas of our lives. Every profession (a trade that has prostituted itself for money becomes a profession in my eyes) is a conspiracy against the lay, and nothing is being held back.
I feel that unless there's buffer between the intrusion of mainstream social platforms and the hijacking of people's senses, people will not move onto web3. They will stay on the clear-net, incentive's to be there, finding their context of tribalism there. However nothing is set in stone on this Earth. We may see a change of heart from the masses. Don't bank on it though, as you have pointed out...the hypnosis is strong against the feeble minded masses.
I have some more questions for you since you've touched upon "going underground" (metaphorically speaking???), which hints at parallel communities. What are your thoughts on this matter? How do see this happening? How do you see the decen. social platforms being pushed underground? How do you feel people will cope without being able to conveniently access the clear-net without State permission? Is it possible to use web3 to create our parallel communities?
Alright man the sun's out so i'm gonna kick some pebbles. Ta ta!!!
PS - awesome song, get that goodness out there on the streaming shops. MAKE THEM PAY!!!!!!!
