This post is like something straight from the Higher Intelligence out there. I have abandoned most social media and have finally found some time to make some music and write!
The question I find interesting is, is there actually a profitable, lasting business model for any of these things that doesn’t involve the service gradually going to shit over time and the cost to value ratio forever dwindling towards nothing? I’ve seen great ideas for a rival to Spotify, but would there actually be a way to run it that is profitable? Ditto for every other major service on the internet that has got shitter and/or more expensive over time (which is all of them, if you’re a cynic).
I like the cut of your jib Seth, these posts are great 🤙
Finally... someone who speaks my language.

Desperately needed to read this today. Many thanks!

Seth,
I quit all social media back in 2014 (10 years!). I wrote an essay about it and thought you might like to take a look:
