      The underground internet is really inefficient. It consists of people cutting/pasting urls from one private context to another: slack, FB groups, dms, messengers. Or private <—> public It’s like how surface croads are point-to-point by car, but subway use needs on-foot transfers

      The concept of “clipboard” is severely under-productized. We ridiculously overuse screenshots as well. Serious defeaturing of content for stable portability. Notebooks and highlighters aren’t sharing focused. Plus any mechanism that relies on a trusted 3rd party SaaS is weak.

      I think personal anon-blockchain of context-permissioned, addressable, searchable, interlinked clips. Disqus came architecturally close with its commenting system, but required publishers to cooperate with no incentive to do so. Plus it was public rather than underground.

          Plus Disqus UI is awful. Plus anything on Disqus can be vanished as “spam” whenever their (terrible!) spam filter changes, and you neither know this has happened nor can do anything about it.

          Probably "stories" would evolve into a searchable and addressable medium. They are already somewhat interlinked, at least on TikTok (duet feature).
