It's a chicken and egg issue. Nobody will create content on a platform with inferior usability.
Hard to capture that lightning
It's a chicken and egg issue for sure, but I think you've got the wrong egg.
Nobody will create content on a platform with few viewers. Nobody will be a viewer on a platform with few content creators.
And there will be even fewer users with a bad or lacking interface. It certainly does not solve the problem, but it helps reduce barriers to entry for new users.
I mean that's true but I don't think that's part of the chicken and egg cycle, as you can improve UX before getting users too
