I would like to think we’re heading toward a future where people will want to pay for products and services to reclaim their attention - as opposed to using free ones that deliberately track and optimize for your engagement.

The past 15 years of social media has been a terrible experiment in attention-driven business models.

I’d like to think I’m helping buck this trend with my current project - a subscription based social network called Thread - https://get.thread-app.com

I'd like to think that too, but most people don't have the money or inclination for calm tech. We want distractions from the uncomfortable truths, and Facebook is happy to provide distraction with comfortable "truths."
