So so lonely…. Will be back from desktop shortly. I want all yards in “my” main wallet. 111111 $enjoy72,575 $enjoy
"Battle Mech, Robo Tech, Ready to Flex" - Apathy (Demigodz) 111111 $enjoyfurther 111111 $enjoyAppreciate you adding to the convo. I would assume at this point, the platforms (obviously the main pain point for most creatives and artists) already are fully aware how bad this all feels for artists and creatives but also realize there aren't enough real humans using the platforms to keep the lights on, so everyone is rushing to change what made this all special in an attempt to try to scale with hopes of mass adoption, when we aren't ready for that clearly. And it seems like the ones making the calls think the ability to "possibly" make income for uploading compared to legacy web2 social is the thing that would be so intriguing to already skeptical normies, whom if did magically all onboard rn, would quickly realize, they jumped into a new ecosystem minus their existing following only to land in a void that just adopted the same broken discovery mechanisms where following and having followers have no meaning... sustainability, income are a bonus, the majority of creatives I've crossed path with the past 30 years main concern beyond the creative process is their art making meaningful connections. This mass pivot to obviously farm creatives and users for frequent traffic i can't see having the successful outcome whoever sacrificed and sunset our control over contracts, pricing, what and who we see on our feed, etc seems to be hoping for. Wish it made sense, and wish all that retrofunding would have just went into creating an app experience separate from the magical goated web platforms. but i'm also thankful because this all happening at once was very eye opening and taught me a valuable lesson once again. So i'll do my best to not repeat the same bright eyed, heart full trusting mistake again. <3 500,000 $enjoy☄️ 333333 $enjoy“Take the emptiness you hold in your arms And scatter it into the open spaces we breathe.

I'd hope that we can continue to cultivate onchain funding sources so that VCs have a lot of competition. If that happens, they will have to go above and beyond to be the best option amidst communities who may be able to offer the same amount of capital. Which would be great for all involved.
Either way, the ever increasing power of the creator is revealing itself.
it should be possible for musicians and artists to both earn from their work AND have a space to connect with their present and future fans. instead of needing web3 for value and web2 for distro, there can be a secret third thing where both are possible.
im hoping we can make it this place right here :~)
loving these videos by the way, insightful and thoughtful as always.
that's fine!!!
slow growth = sustainable growth
