I ran through the posts of Hey and Hey devs, and it’s really great to see that, almost uniquely in the ecosystem, their set direction and roadmap are very well-defined and clear. This is good because these types of goals are easier to deal with and achieve, plus they give the platform a very solid character and uniqueness, making it easily understandable for outsiders as well. This approach gives the product a robust clarity that can be a major asset. At the same time, an important element was left out of the story, which is the proper filtering of users, both at the entry level and in terms of their visibility in the algorithm. If you check their leaderboard and general feed, it’s quite clear what the main direction of the users is: \- pointless GM-ing, \- platform appreciation posts to trigger responses from devs, \- random "I’m here" bullshit with some insignificant AI-generated or internet-downloaded image. And this isn't an anomaly with diamonds hidden in between; this is the behavior of the top users. Without directing this as an attack on any specific users, I have to say that this degrades the product tremendously, because I don't see where the change would come from that suddenly motivates someone to start creating a quality post or product, only for it to disappear among the sea of semi-bot users. Reinforced by each other, this type of user behavior creates a completely unusable and embarrassing platform image. As a result, no matter how interesting and good the underlying tech and mechanisms are, it actually serves no purpose other than ensuring that 10–20 users get their $10 reward or a tiny peanut from a future airdrop at the end of every month. These are the very same people who swap $1 100,000 times on a random L2 or on Jumper, just because it will yield a bite of bread in half a year. They are the dust or the background noise of speculative web3 and blockchain technology, nothing more. And we already know well where this leads. To empty chains and Phaver-like failures. But how can we create a system where they are not the interested parties? First of all, there needs to be a fundamental barrier they cannot cross. Or if they do cross it, the algorithm must plunge them into darkness, even if the price for this is that the main feed remains empty. Eventually, someone will come along to fill it, and then another will come, and another. The second is not filtering and highlighting stuff by the fake engagement of the 99% fake "community" but by the user's previous preference, or the quality of the content. For the first, we have a fully transparent social graph, for the second we have AI.
