Thats quite true, the lower the barrier to enter a network the more challenging it will be to ensure quality (same thing is happening in all social networks including web3) I do think there could be simple tiny barrier to enter to mitigate programmatic profile minting either with gas or optional verification. Buying handles could work. Yes going fully permissionless would mean also more spam, good spam prevention tools would be necessary. I don’t agree about unlocking bigger audiences would directly help creators. There are around 200-300k users in web3 social across all networks so it does not move the needle. Whats needed is new novel apps that attract new users and have great retention
