Why You Should Be Interested in Decentralized Social in 2023

The Daily DeSo

Let's face it, social media has become an integral part of our everyday life. While social media platforms have been incredibly effective in terms of increasing visibility, they've also created an insatiable need for the arbitrary like button.

But, here’s a novel idea, what if you didn't have to depend on vanity metrics like “likes” to be seen and most importantly, get paid?

A Monetizable Social Network

Well, look no further than the DeSo Blockchain. The reason why I love DeSo much is that it empowers the creator. It allows users to earn money without having to rely on likes or followers. Yes, you heard that right, whether you're a freelancer, a business owner, or simply looking for extra income, DeSo offers an intuitive, easy-to-use platform that pays users based on the quality of their content rather than the number of likes they receive.

DeSo believes that you, the creator, should be able to monetize your content without having to worry about if you're liked. DeSo is an innovative platform that allows users to make money from their content by getting paid directly from their supporters. Users simply post their content like they would on any other social platform, but when they do, they can get paid. In order to get paid on YouTube you have to meet the 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours before you earn a penny. Not so with DeSo. You can early immediately by simply posting your content.

Forget Likes, Get Diamonds

When other users agree or resonate with the post, they send “diamonds” which are micro-monetary donations (real money) instantly given to the creator, a form of social tipping. For example, if 5000 users see your post and just 10 percent of them give you $0.1 each per post, you could theoretically earn $50 from just that one post. Multiply that over 10 posts and you now have to ability to earn $500. You didn’t need them to “like” you. You were simply rewarded for your content. That’s the beauty of DeSo and the possibilities are endless.

DeSo is a decentralized social media platform that seeks to empower users to get paid for their time and effort.

For content creators, DeSo is a game-changer. DeSo has a built-in tipping system, allowing users to directly send money to the content creators they enjoy. With DeSo, content creators have the freedom to make the content they want and receive payment for it without relying on likes and followers.

Stop Chasing Likes & Start Getting Paid

DeSo is a completely new kind of decentralized social media platform that allows users to create and share content, earn rewards, and get paid for their efforts without having to rely on likes and shares from the public.

Twitter's 4,000 Characters

Musk confirmed plans to increase character limits on Twitter to 4,000. This is good news for content creators because of the integration with DeSo.

DeSo Stats

As the only Layer-1 blockchain capable of powering content-rich social applications, DeSo is in a class of its own.

In fact, DeSo has secured over $200 million in funding from Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, CoinBase, CAA, and others. If these companies believe in DeSo, shouldn't you take the time to check it out too?

With all the changes taking place at Twitter, many are looking for alternative social platforms. The difference you'll find with DeSo is that it's built for creators. Creators own their work, their entire social graph, and can be paid daily just for posting their content. No other platform does that.

Even Bankless newsletter with hundreds of thousands of subscribers mentioned Web3 Social decentralized platforms like DeSo as one sector everyone should be keeping an eye out for in this bear market.

The $50 Million Octane Fund

Last year, the DeSo Foundation’s $50 million Octane Fund helped accelerate the growth of the DeSo developer ecosystem. It drew from the $200 million in venture capital the project has received from Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures and others. The Apps can be found here.
