On the last point about Twitter charging and others like Reddit potentially following suit, we can look at paid TV models which would have been scoffed at initially, but now many pay additional subs to Netflix, Disney, Amazon and others. Could the same happen with some social applications?? It's very possible, especially given how addicted some are to Instagram, Tictok, What'sApp etc .. Personally I won't pay for those, but many others would. I pay extra for Spotify and Netflix and draw the line there.

The rest of the post raises very legimate concerns about Reddit governance and it sounds like it is ripe for and rife with abuse of power. As you say, we are lucky that the immutable nature of our Hive ecosystem gives the necessary transparency for genuine trust.

Also, how does one become a curator for @ocd out of curiosity? Thanks.
