I got 20 comments from watching this back for ways to imporve FirstContext. Please watch after 30 minutes in the video as we move on from FirstContext and onto how Adding Signal will be useful for AI in the future, and how the future is looking for how either the corporate world or the decentralised world will determine the truth.

there is also a taster of @theycallmedan's AI at the end.

Here you see how you can use a content creator profile page to quickly see all of their content across multiple platforms.

You can track them (in which case their latest content comes into your signal inbox in one feed).

You can Add Signal and add your Thoughts on Chain to their content with just one click of a button.

Here we will demonstrate how you can follow all of your creators across multiple platforms in one feed, and how that feed gives you Signal so you can consume the content at a glance, instead of having to consume it to know what is going on in the world of your feed.

1) Search the creator from the "Search Creator" box in your Signal Inbox

2) Select the correct creator from the drop down

3) Seelct the content you want to comment on / add signal to

4) if it is a new creator to the system you must add signal to their content

5) if the creator already exists in the system you can just add yout thorughts on chain comment, adding signal is optional

6) hit the "Cathc and Post on Chain" button once you have filled out the boxes

7) You shouuld see your credits awarded

8) check the content page on First Context to see everything posted well.

9) check the creator's profile on First Context, you should see their content is now on the platform

1) Simply search your favourite creator on the "Find creator" section

2) Select them from the drop down list

3) For new creators, you need to add signal + comment a thoughts on chain in the respective boxes.

4) Click the "Catch and post on chain" button once all of the relevant fields are filled.

5) Confirm the creator is now added to the system

AS shown in the video, you no longer need to be logged into a Hive platform in order to comment on it. In the same way you click the "thoughts-on-chain" bookmarklet on web2 content to comment on it, you can also do exactly the same with Hive platforms to make your comments there too!

A catch tells the network that you noticed something. Signal tells it why.

Signal is a small structured form attached to your catch — 5-9 fields that turn a bare URL into curatable, AI-readable context:

**Content type** — what kind of thing is this? (original post, news, reaction, clip, remix, repost, parody, or unclear)

**Authenticity** — is it the real thing, an edit/clip, AI-synthetic, a re-upload, or unclear?

**Importance** — how big a deal is this, on the minor → notable → important → high-signal → urgent scale?

**Best parts** — at least one timestamp + a short description of what happens at that moment. You can pin up to 3, so a 90-minute interview can highlight three jump-to moments.

**Why it matters** — your sentence-or-two on why this catch deserves attention.

Fill all five and your catch is marked Full Signal — and you earn a +50% bonus on top of the base catch credits.

Why the bonus exists. A URL with no context is cheap — anyone can paste a link. A URL with a structured "why-it-matters", a stance on authenticity, and a timestamp pinning the moment that actually matters is something a downstream reader (or an AI agent) can search, ingest, and trust. That's worth more than the spotting alone. The bonus is the network paying you for the curation work, not just the catch.

Anti-gaming guards (so the bonus rewards real effort, not filler):

- "Why it matters" must be at least 20 characters

- Each timestamped best-part description must be at least 10 characters

- You can't paste the same text across multiple fields — each field has to be distinct

- Optional fields (don't gate the bonus, but make your catch even more valuable for the downstream AI layer): a one-line topic hint, a specific claim being made, your stance on it (support / dispute / unclear), and up to 10 tags.

One sentence to remember: explain why it matters and you earn more than the scouts who just paste the link.

Here is one of the most important parts of Adding Signal; Signal is not only about being accurate and building reputation, but it is also about timeliness and adding signal as quickly as possible after the origional content was posted to the internet. Catching content within 5 mintues or even the first hour after which it was posted by the creator will earn bonus credits in the system.

You simply go the the creator's feed and click the "Catch Content" bookmarklet. it will import the content to your pop up browser. For content creators who are already in the system you must add at least one comment to the content you are catching, For a creator that is not yet in the system you need to add both a comment (Thought on Chain) and complete the Add Signal panel to add signal to at least one of the pieces of content you are importing.

Simple paste a web2 (or web3) URL, enter your comment and hit Post. Thats it, and your comment is on the Hive blockchain! This is how we can bring the web2 discussion to web3!
