I completely agree with the statement: "what is available everywhere else for free, there is no value to have it here".
I think there is a need for exclusivity, but obviously it isn't the only thing that matters.
Strangely, I think that attacking a niche is fine, but I don't know if we can create enough clamor because of this already being a niche kind of place (if that makes sense). We're narrowing down, on an already narrow pool of creators. To magnify a piece of content in that environment, it would have to be some really attention grabbing stuff.
Mind you, this conversation doesn't do much for "attention-grabbing" as it is only one that would be discussed by our community. (I guess I'm part of the problem.)
It is an interesting problem, because it shows how full of shit most crypto people are. If they really wanted to support a decentralized future, they wouldn't be shilling their tokens on Twitter, they would be pulling people into places like Hive to shill their tokens. Large and diverse communities of crypto people, banked up on crypto, talking and supporting crypto, showing how a decentralized, multi-token community with a thousand chains interacting together would create a stable economy, protected by the numbers.
But no, they support the centralized platforms, because that is where the people are.
