    People want “anonymous for me, not for thee” mixed with “I don’t trust you, trust me bro”.

    Starting from a basis that people want a contradiction, people will go to whichever platform “cons” them better.

    Facebook had a real name policy, then it didn’t. Twitter had an anonymous policy, then it added verified accounts, now anyone can buy the blue, so they added a gold.

    Meanwhile, people don’t want to understand that others can behave in different ways or capacities at different times, but if course want full understanding for themselves.

    Goggle’s Circles had the right idea, but it failed explosively by showing their hand to people who want to pretend it doesn’t exist.
