But also how she cultivated community on early social (MySpace and tumblr) - 27,000 interactions with fans on tumblr alone over the years. This is her personally using it to interact directly with her fans.

Been thinking a lot about monopolies - if you create a fake monopoly that provides no value to any stakeholder / end user how does it end?
Embracing and allowing competition while seeking PMF is smarter and wiser long term than fabricating value. Especially in web3 where most products have no PMF and we also have web2 to compete with for mass adoption.
True monopolies have all initially triumphed by creating value that benefit people more than the status quo. This is what builds their monopoly. While this can be arguable down the road, it’s mostly been the case in earlier stages. Playing the artificial monopoly game (no pun) too early limits your ability to continuously innovate to solve actual problem and build sustainable product solutions.

*"The direct-to-consumer monetization feature on Lens lowers the barrier to entry for creators to generate revenue. Creators who have been disadvantaged by extinguished royalty payments can now turn to decentralized social media as a potential source of income"*
*"Furthermore, there is no measurable correlation between the wallet value and a user’s influence on the Lens platform suggesting that net worth is not a prerequisite for success. The level playing field opens up opportunities for creators from diverse backgrounds to earn revenue without any significant upfront investment. It also highlights the importance of creating an application that appeals to a broad market audience, rather than catering to a specific user segment*"

Great piece in *The New Yorker* on the trend of DIY private clubs. In the past, private clubs were the exclusive based on wealth but today, theres a new generation of DIY grassroots private clubs forming to provide an IRL places for people from different backgrounds and industries to connect over curated social experiences.
I couldn't help but turn my mind to Lens when reading it....
As a social layer, Lens has the potential to power a wide range of digital communities that can be just as stimulating. We're already seeing the formation of micro-communities within the Lens ecosystem, where people who may never have crossed paths are connecting over shared interests.
- This comment left here by @punkess.lens today is an amazing example of that: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x16a1
- "Music Is Social" - IYKYK is another one
Looking back at the magic of old-school Twitter, what drew many of us in was the openness and ability to discover and connect with people from completely different backgrounds. However, the challenge was often taking those connections to the next level, into deeper smaller space curated experiences.
With Lens' ever-emerging front-ends providing more curation (e.g. @diversehq.lens launched today), digital community enabling tools (embedded governance in follower NFTs and publications), composability and ownership, we now have the ability to create meaningful connections throughout *the entire internet* on an open graph AND take them to more curated and defined experiences, fostering even deeper connections.
I am calling it *DIY Lens Clubs ✌️*

- Think deeply about discovery online
- Climb into an overlay
- Make a thing with which you can talk about the thing
Thank you to everyone here in our beta who invested their time and energy experimenting & exploring with us last year. We hope you enjoyed the journey as much as we did.
