Completely agree about the product versus the investment opportunity, and I think we kind of need to figure out... are we a platform for creators or for consumers. Obviously they go hand in hand, but which group are we trying to appeal to?
You didn't know either? The announcements haven't got far it seems :D
I am not sure how fast it will move, but if we are looking to create a valuable second layer ecosystem, we have to be prepared to narrow the focus of the first in some way - they can't compete against each other forever.
