"I apppreciate the clarification from the source. When I say 'dry up,' I’m mainly looking at the marginal utility of participation.
My skepticism comes from the fact that in almost every 'Value-for-Value' expeeeriment, there’s this honeymoon phase driven by early-adopter altruism. But as any platform scales, the 'noise' usually grows faster than the 'value.' If the cost to filter that noise (the sats needed to boost or zap) starts to outweigh the actual reward, rational people eveentually drift away.
I’d call it 'Incentive Fatigue.' We've seeen it happen in Web2 with attention, and I’m curious if sats can actually solve the human eleement here. I’m not saying SN is doomed—I’m just questioning if the current eequilibrium can survive a 100x increease in the user base without it becoming a 'pay-to-play' environment where only the whales' voices matter."
