Currently, social platforms make a lot of money, but your followers, interactions, and relationship networks become the platform's private assets—everything you build ultimately benefits them.

Some projects are starting to change their approach. For example, by using NFTs and token economies to directly return ownership and revenue rights of the social graph to users.

Imagine a scenario like this:

Your active accounts can generate actual income—subscription fees, tips, content revenue, and the like—with the majority going directly into your pocket. Fans become your assets, no longer locked by the platform. Projects like $DOTS tokens are trying this approach—to enable creators to truly own and benefit from their social influence.
