I had an interesting experience today with a really good friend of mine off chain.

He's a big political guy.   Well not so much political, much more.....Conspiracy theorist / truther....Or whatever the label is these day, I can't keep up.

He's a guy who sees big problems in the world and thinks people should know about the evils in society.  And whether I agree with him or not, isn't the point of this post.

I saw him, draft pretty much his magnum opus of content and posted it right smack dab in the middle of.....**Facebook**.

O.K., that was my first observation about said piece of content.  I immediately thought, why would you want to post such a well written piece on a platform that has never been known for long form content.

And second, I kept saying to myself....This should have been posted on this blockchain.

Again....Whether or not I agree with him, isn't the point.  It brings up my belief that this blockchain is superior on many fronts but the big reason is because....

**It's a home for long form.**

**It's a home for short form.**

**It's a home for any kind of content you wish to produce!**

See, let's be honest....The DNA and the origin story of this blockchain was always long form.  Since it's inception, long form has had a thriving home here. Now one would argue, we've had the problem of too many content creators and not enough content consumers and I would agree with that.

But push comes to shove, this blockchain is a fantastic place to write blogs and journal your thoughts forever and ever. Censorship resistant, all that jazz...It's great!

Ahhh but here's the other side of the coin, which personally I have been preaching from the mountain top for years now...

The 'internet' doesn't thrive in long form content when it comes to user adoption.  Let's be brutally honest again, most people like bite sized pieces of content, short videos, blurbs, memes, quotes....

Tiktok is much more popular than Medium if you want to go 2.0 on the example!

But here's the opportunity on this blockchain...

We can cater to all markets when it comes to content creating and consuming.

**You can write your blogs!**

**You can produce your videos!**

**You can post a meme or two!**

It's whatever your heart desires and the added benefit, like I mentioned is....All the wonderful features of #web3

So I think we are positioned perfectly when it comes to the creator side of things....But the problem will arise, and that comes to consuming.  How do we make this blockchain a place / community that people want to hang out in, spend their time on, and get their friends to do the same?

Million dollar question....And I've been looking for answers since 2017 lol

**Got any solutions?**
