Truth Social, Gettr, Rumble & Telegram Start Web 3.0 Wars
Manage episode 318714306 series 3093915
Web 3.0 is the new buzzword. But what is it, and will it be much of the same?
The truth has been hidden, buried, and labeled untrustworthy.
The truth may be stretched thin, but it never breaks, and it always surfaces above lies as oil floats on water.
-Don Quixote
The truth has surfaced and started a fragmentation of our internet.
The internet was never supposed to be centralized. Censorship broke the internet in half, and Web 3.0 is not about the metaverse or cryptocurrency.
Web 3.0 is about YOUR community and Bitcoin.
Without going down that rabbit hole of orange pills. Let’s see what’s happening with social networks.
Truth Social launched with a Trump stamp of approval. Probably as good as his steaks and university.
There’s nothing new here with Parlar, Gettr, Telegram all emerging as different platforms to tear social networks apart.
We had Friendster, MySpace, Xanga, and all of that faded away.
It became easier to speak with your friends, faster to look up old buddies, and quicker to send ideas to YOUR community.
Before long, it was a parade of information we grew numb to after all those friend requests and years of liking.
People on platforms can no longer express their idea to THEIR community, trolls stoke the flames, and personal attacks and bullying are where we are at in mature social media platforms.
Truth Social is promoting the most advanced AI to moderate content
on its platform from violence, bullying, hate speech, and even spam.
If you’re on Gettr right now, all your replies will have tons of spammers selling junk.
But is censorship the objective here?
Facebook seems to think so!
Basically, on the same day.
Facebook is gunning after Truth social is sharing their AI supercomputer.
Is the answer to social media more censorship?
More computers?
More centralization?
Probably not.
The evolution of social media has been happening for over 25-years.
You got mail.
You got poked.
You got deplatformed.
Words. Truth. Integrity.
We are heading into a post-Facebook world.
If you want to participate inside the metaverse and try to “earn” a digital life.
The same caveats we have in social media today inside a new restricted metaverse reality.
A closed economy.
Facebook tried to create Libra.
Failed.
Facebook rebranded it as Diem.
Failed.
Communication is what powers social media.
The number #1 driver for social networks is advertising revenue.
There is no other business model.
Over 20-years, it’s been the same.
Banner ads.
Facebook and Advertising agencies are
spending millions of dollars to launch Metaverse ads.
Resources are pouring in when we are ignoring problems in reality.
Here’s a banner from artist David Sebastian.
“Billionaires are spending millions in the metaverse while people are starving in our universe!!!”
So, it’s the same business model re-hashed into another form.
Web 3.0 is the new slogan.
There’s nothing new about it.
Silicon Valley knows what the future of Web 3.0 is all about.
It’s bitcoin.
