What Jamie wrote

Interesting take from Thompson (as always!) thinking through what Twitter-Scroll could be doing to create a market between users and creators. It is particularly interesting where Thompson leaves this:

The web started with no economy, then built a commoditized advertising-only one, and now is increasingly a market for all sorts of goods and services — the more differentiated the better. That doesn’t just mean interoperability, in the purest most fungible form of money, but also opportunity.

As I read this it made me think of the Brave web browser and the Basic Attention Token that it has created. This market-making concept is very compatible with various blockchain web3 solutions.
