The good news is that the BitClout experiment worked! DeSo attracted in a bunch of new developers (see 200+ apps live), a strong base of users (3K-4K DAUs still), and a lot of capital to deploy into the ecosystem (close to $200M raised).

However, as we have undergone this shift, I worry that some audiences (specifically creators and end users) feel neglected, or worse, that they were part of a bait-and-switch.
