I think we are going to see a cambrian explosion of crypto social media platforms as people experiment with different incentive structures, and learn what kind of content is created by particular structures.
And building the initial momentum is definitely going to be a big challenge, but one that will be mitigated by the reward system of a community-owned platform. The value of a social media platform is not in the software, but in the social network. With cryptocurrrency-based networks, it will be easier than ever for users to share in the fruits of creating that network.
Contributors will have the option of either being paid directly in ether, or being paid in "community tokens" which can be immediately or later exchanged for ether according to a bancor-style exchange protocol.
And thanks! Glad you like it.

These subtle menticidal forces operate both within the mind and outside it. They have been strengthened in their effect by the growth in complexity of our civilization. The modern means of mass communication bring the entire world daily into each man's home; the techniques of propaganda and salesmanship have been refined and systematized; there is scarcely any hiding place from the constant visual and verbal assault on the mind. The pressures of daily life impel more and more people to seek an easy escape from responsibility and maturity. Indeed, it is difficult to withstand these pressures; to many the offer of a political panacea is very tempting, to others the offer of escape through alcohol, drugs, or other artificial pleasures is irresistible.
Free men in a free society must learn not only to recognize this stealthy attack on mental integrity and fight it, but must learn also what there is in side man's mind that makes him vulnerable to this attack, what it is that makes him, in many cases, actually long for a way out of the responsibilities that republican democracy and maturity place on him.
