"There is no secret source for onboarding that isn't rooted in greed."

I came here for free speech. I've never traded one token for fiat since I've been here, so it's demonstrable I didn't come here for money. As censorship and fake news become more prevalent and deadly, the market for free speech is growing. I think more and more people are searching for a place where they can learn and discuss things they have an existential need to know, because life is more valuable than money to them.

People die from censorship all the time. John Barnett was found shot in the head the day before he was supposed to testify about lax Boeing manufacturing standards. Lots of people have died because they didn't learn things that were censored, too. Folks tend to be more committed to things they cannot live without than to mere tokens, IME.

I think you're ignoring the best source of onboarding that exists.
