Let me be clear, its a running joke.
Rather than think of a specific piece of content, you say “cat video”.
It also has a mocking value for the intelligence of some social media users, while it also highlights that some are quite funny to cat lovers.
Internet made “better” is a loaded term, I still think. There is an idea of The Internet 2.0 out there for groups of people (maybe many) that makes it seem like there could be a mistake going on, or with ill intent (government/company owned Internet with restrictions galore), since the first Internet is so wildly popular among so many people that they’ll think there’s no need to improve it; anything that tries to improve it will be thought out by intentionally dubious individuals (not realizing Irvine et al’s genius, wholesome, super smart/logical designing). “What’s wrong with the Internet we got?!”
You are dead on accurate. Safe will make the internet better, 100% true, without a doubt, handsdown. What is a better internet? A better internet for some would be free internet, for some a faster internet, others an internet that has no paywalls or an internet free of porn or gruesome news. Heck, some people think a lousy wifi connection is bad internet. SAFE offers and fixes none of the above. Average consumers will have no reason to use SAFE because it changes nothing for them and only adds friction.
Capturing the essence of MS in a single line will be no easy task. The MS team has as big a task introducing MS to the world as they have had building it over the last 10 years. Some might say the next chapter is far more complex than the last. I will say without a doubt the next chapter will be far more expensive than the last and, unlike coding where if you make a mistake or find a bug you can spend a few hours “squishing it”, branding is permanent, one kick at the can, you cant just throw a few marketers at a bad branding decision and “squish it”. The public is unforgiving.
Let me be clear, I get the joke, and was not necessarily referring to literal cat videos. My point is that most of the content of Facebook, or Usenet, or Youtube, has no reason to be hosted anywhere else.
Some of the content of Facebook, or other platforms, will benefit from moving to SAFE.
At first, for SAFE version 1.0, when the friction level is highest, that content will be the content that has the highest motivation to seek security. With a more mature version of SAFE, a lower level of motivation will be sufficient to migrate content to SAFE. I don’t believe it will ever approach 50%, so not “most” or the Internet reborn.
But the 20% that does eventually move to SAFE or its progeny will have a huge significance, of world-historical importance, I dare to hope.
Depends whether we have PtP or not. If we do that might make it a great place for people to put up viral content.
Plus there are benefits to people who adopt SAFE for one reason, to start uploading and sharing other content types there, whether with friends or making it public. Familiarity and convenience is a big motivator, and this will be really easy on SAFE - copying to a public folder on a virtual drive for example - or running an app that specialises in what you want to share of course.
I agree there isn’t going to be a big incentive for all kinds of content to switch over in a shortish period… but the more utility and users SAFE Network attracts, the more types a bigger quantities of content it will host.
How about : Other.NET with a simple Nike style logo … Simple
Finally, a decentralised internet

Repost from another topic:
(Don’t) Find me on the SAFE Network.
the possibility to earn safecoin from views for one…
I don’t like the word “decent,” it really for some reason, causes me to cringe. Don’t know why.
“Decent” as in good.
Not like “dissent” (which makes me cringe as well)
SAFE tagline
“LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANCE”
