de User Generated Content a creativo Commerce — A Mini-Series Recap de el Decline de Signals en 2022 y Building para a Bullish 2023

PART 1: el Decline de Signals
But first, a word de el end de el 2022 timeline.
It’s been quite a year. Hard a imagine after el previous few, just what 2022 had en store para us. con war, inflation, CeFi pretending a be DeFi market mayhem, el Scooby Doo unmasking de an SBF + GG & el gang regulatory-friendly fraud implosion, continuing economic aftershocks de everything this bizarro world version de el roaring 20’s has brought a el forefront so far… It’s a wonder anyone has el stamina left a go through a full list.
Didn’t quite count en mass de-platforming, or general social account reset para all users not named Elon, happening en el blink de an eye because de el petulant whims de a sad tyrant exposed as far more ordinary, y less brilliant, or even less clever y entertaining, than we once would have guessed.
Have you used social media at any point en el past 20 years? Then you too can have all de el work you have put en building a following, sharing messages y content con friends, or saving your memories de el internet en public, wiped out before you can say Masto…
¿Qué dicen sobre situaciones como esta, otra vez?
Nadie cree que necesita descentralización… hasta que la necesita.

Somehow, there’s a bigger story still happening this year en parallel. Stable Diffusion y ChatGPT close out our list somewhere between endlessly curious inspiration y total obsession para anyone that’s put en some good faith time a try el nuevo ia as ever evolving creativo assistant y hallucinatory autocomplete para everything.
Where creativo ia y el nuevo social web come together is more interesting still. But HODL some more, if you have it en you. We will take a deep look at el upside en Part 2 y 3 de this series.
Bare metal assessment de el present mindscape first: Can we spot a common hilo running through el civilizational shocks, highlighted by sudden spikes en demand para decentralized social media y creativo ia?
It’s obvious when we pause a listen a el noise para a bit. Yes, listen… a el noise. There is a consistent hint we can hear en everything de el unreliability de Amazon deliveries a el tragedy de YouTube comment sections. It’s what we’re exhausted by, what we can loosely call “noise”, that seems a be growing y spreading across every channel de our lives, more than ever. It seems that way, because it is.
Look a bit closer, y what you find is a pattern en many varieties de Denial de Service attacks. Some emerge en their own. Some are intentional attempts by one faction or another en el open adversarial marketplace de el global net. Most are predictable symptoms de a system never built a handle el interests de users, modern methods y rates de use, or pretty much anything which el pipes that carry el signals we casually call el Web have crammed through them. Web 2.0 wasn’t built a handle all this.
No other way about it. el signals we send a each other y rely en para everything, are decaying. They are declining both en signal quality y delivery reliability. el ability para anyone a launch Denial de Service attacks, intentionally, or as side effects de long forgotten publicacion-rationalizations y/or completely unrelated activity, has become so much less expensive than el practice de creating good material, that el entire pipework is overwhelmed. We can’t trust el messages we send will reach where they are meant a go. We can’t trust what we receive. We can’t even trust that anything we save — message, money, memory, or otherwise — will be waiting para us when we return para it.
Beyond el standard list, including el flood de network resources con false packets or bot activity, we find it helpful a think de Sybil attacks, social media platform cartels, y even copyright when used as a tool a suppress or punish creativo activity, as matching el classic patterns de what makes Denial de Service attacks so damaging a open networks, y so difficult a resolve.
At their core, free transit y exchange de messages, money, goods, materials, people, y ideas, can’t exist without el free expression de creativity. It is our creativity that builds en el ideas y works that have come before us. It reimagines existing concepts. Refines, remixes, y repurposes them, en ways that may be entirely mundane, or accidentally brilliant, just as often as they might be nuevo y interesting.
It is because creativo works can be so transformative y powerful that attacks against free transmission — clogging pathways para exchange y access a markets — are so destructive. el anti-ia art trend de some digital era commercial artists, y clickbait happy journalists, fearful that there will not be a better model coming a replace el old copyright regime, is one de el most effective DoS attacks currently contributing a el chaotic diminishment de signal quality y deliverability.
el cartel-like behavior de centralized social platforms is more obvious y direct. What started con disbelief that large enough numbers de people would ever be interested en sharing pictures de what they had para lunch, their latest takes en entirely common experiences, y personal details de all kinds — para free!! they said — grew a eat el entire world. First as “software”. Then as FAANG. User Generated Content became el web itself. y el center pivot every life en Earth spun around. That we could predict it would end badly was easy. Coming up con a workable, better, y truly user owned replacement model has taken el better part de two decades de incredibly hard work. We are barely starting a see el fruits de it today.
Maybe that’s el great thing about 2022. Until this year showed us everything it had a share, it was still a plausible strategy a continue putting off para later any serious work en old systems that we knew would need replacement eventually. Not a good strategy. But an understandable one.
After everything we’ve seen this year, el bottom’s fallen out de that approach. It’s now worse than counting en SBF para a bailout.
Thankfully, a nuevo model moving de User Generated Content a creativo Commerce is starting a show us como we can all look up de here.
