CyberConnect co-founder Ryan Li believes that creators who want their content to live forever will ditch Web2 social media platforms for Web3 alternatives.The Web3 industry continues its mission to disrupt the World Wide Web, and social media is one of its primary targets. In the 34th episode of Cointelegraph’s, host Elisha Owusu Akyaw interviews Ryan Li, co-founder of CyberConnect, about the concept of decentralized social media.
Li kicks off the episode by explaining the rationale behind creating social media platforms running on blockchain. Li points out that Web3 social media platforms give content creators the confidence that they won’t be abandoned when the platform gets bigger or shifts its focus to ad revenue, unlike traditional platforms.
A decentralized social media platform taking the space by storm recently is Friend.tech. The platform became the most used decentralized application on Coinbase’s Base network after recording revenue of 10,663 Ether , with total value locked of over 30,000 ETH in less than two months.
“However, when you say if it’s a security, I would kind of say it might be because the price of a key, even though it’s trading against a battling curve, it’s not trading with another person.“ Beyond decentralized social media, Owusu Akyaw and Li discussed how the latest changes at major platforms like Meta and X affect adoption. Li explains that X’s new monetization strategy and Meta’s seemingly unsuccessful experiment with Threads may catalyze Web3 social media adoption. According to the CyberConnect co-founder, users are likely to make a move due to a single feature they love and stay because of the infrastructure they find.
