There's a huge opportunity for invite-only social networks because current networks are flooded with noise or contain people who don't want to talk to each other. Any network that isn't great (e.g. Goodreads, Yelp) can be rebuilt easily now. The 10x better product is the curation of people and information. The internet can't just be split between broadcast networks for everyone and group chats for dozens of people. There has to be something in between.

.@curtis_yarvin predicts the future belongs to invite-only social networks because the open internet destroyed reputation: "I think the future entirely belongs to invite-only social networks. An open space with no reputation system, you get what we called Eternal September 30 years ago. Low-quality people flood in, and all the high-quality people leave." "Everything in the world happens on little group chats now. There's a huge amount of reputation capital that's locked up in who's in what group chat." "There's only four billion names. Having a limited supply of identity and having to lay down a couple of bucks to get in the door greatly reduces the bot problem." "The internet has become an incredibly low-trust society with no reputation signals, and creating a new commons is gonna be incredibly hard." @urbit
