Markets, not algorithms, are deciding what content matters
@cornersinternet is one of the more interesting experiments around content and value I’ve seen recently. Instead of algorithms deciding what’s visible, Corners lets markets do the work. Users create “corners” around niches, and those corners become tradeable, with token-weighted curation shaping what content rises.
What’s live today is an invite-only beta on Base, now integrated into the Base app and accessible across many regions. The mechanics are already clear: holding a corner’s coin gives you more influence over curation, tying ownership directly to taste and governance. That’s a deliberate design choice, not a social gimmick.
The part most people skip over is that Corners frames itself as open infrastructure. If developers can build tools, analytics, or alternate interfaces on top of this corner economy, it becomes more than a single app—it becomes a layer for market-driven discovery.
That said, everything is tightly coupled to Base. Adoption, performance, and long-term relevance will depend heavily on how that ecosystem evolves. Still early, but structurally worth paying attention to.
@CallmeStemec@MySpenda I told you about my experience with them, they’re the worst you can ever find... Chipper cash is still better than them.
@MySpenda Should just stick to converting crypto to naria!
