What cases every platform, or anything else for that matter, go from interesting to boring? A loss of focus on creativity and turning towards distribution of regurgitated content and memes being pushed repeatedly by literally everyone. The other problem is far too many become overly nostalgic with such things that were designed from the start, whether intended to be or not, to be disposable and forgettable, and then the end users cry about it but keep blindly running back to the same garbage till the plug is finally pulled (and ripping themselves off in the process).
The close nit community of members even if large in scale, becomes drowned out by unoriginal and poorly done "remakes" of everything else drowning out creativity and the opportunity for anyone to actually provide something new, and of course all the same designed to bleed everything so dry for every single cent that there isn't even dust left.
It's a common theme also tied in closely with more or less becomes platform decay. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders. In short, it's the wrong and reverse path.
Sure, in the short run a social media company lives or dies by advertising, and advertisers are generally paying for the network effects, but who are they actually adverting to when the end customers are the ones getting screwed, especially long term and established ones? The focus on the customer is simply lost in the translation, so the alternative is to use other means to brainwash end users as general customers to become addicted to garbage more or less using a wide range of manipulation tactics. We don't need to go there, and we shouldn't.
We do not need to seek to be "universally popular" or seek to consume all the attention and resources and various stable or emerging markets along with others being forced into decay. Frankly all the so called large "networks" forget that it's the people, the main customers, the majority, that has made them so large. The problem in reverse is all those complaining about such things becoming so large and yet ceasing to provide the best parts that drew so many in the first place forget how to simply dump it and walk away.
So that is what one of the main goals of Druwayu happens to be even if it isn't so apparent when we state it open to everyone but not for everyone. We welcome active creativity and member participation. We share the information and encourage others, without ordering anyone to do so, to invite others that might be interested in Druwayu and bring more to it in all areas intelligently and not haphazardly and allow others to express their own experiences with Druwayu openly and freely even if it isn't always all flowers and fireflies.
Its why it is designed to be community supported, yet having a centralized foundation so all can draw mutual strength from that centrality and better rely on one another as a collective effort to achieve goals set by the majority of participating and active community members. In that way, what one can get out of Druwayu really depends on what one is willing to actually put into it, and with the participation of others mutually amplify those shared contributions. It's truly the best and most stable model historically.
