I'm a member of a group called Tela Network, which has built a messaging app in which every message has to pay a fee (from the sender to the receiver).
Our goal is that certain types of online interaction, especially the one that you describe in this article, will be greatly reduced.
Would you like to take a look at it ?
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts / reaction / suggestions.
Appreciated, as always.
Very much looking forward to the Karate Kid / Cobra Kai post.

Thanks for reading. I’d take a look at the Tela app. Not an “influencer”, but happy to give honest feedback.
I’m always supportive of tech alternatives until given reason not to be.
Excelente. Thanks.
We're definitely building with influencers in mind, but also consultants / professionals / writers / etc. Anyone whose attention has value.

Ultimately, we want people to be able to protect their attention from an Internet that's really good at strip-mining it.
I look forward to any feedback you might have.
