I've seen mixed reactions to Zora combining pictures and tokens. I could be wrong but this feels ... right. 

It's fascinating. Its like fractionalizing NFTs without having to fractionalize a thing. You can own a lot or you can own a little. 

You can flex being the biggest holder, or you can just support your favorite artist with $5. 

The only thing that separates this from existing 1/1s or open editions is how platforms display them. By owning any amount of these tokens you own "the picture". The amount you put in is up to you. 

I get the sense artists hate this because it further pushes art into some kind of financial asset, but this is fascinating and I hope more artists use it and it catches on. 

NFTs were always financial. Artists wanted a new way to monetize their work. They required a mental leap to embrace a new concept of ownership. Seems like that is also the case here. 

This solves the royalty debate. I assume the artist earns fees on every swap.
