My concern with Primal is that it could end up being too much like just another Twitter in too many ways.

Improvements over Twitter: our identities are cryptographic key pairs that are not controlled by primal, and the notes are stored on relays that are not controlled by primal.

Same as the old Twitter: monetization by advertisements. Which means primal is going to end up building algos that reward people with high follower counts, at the expense of everyone else. 

Wait a second - did I say “end up?” They’re already doing it. Screw that, I say.
