I've been a part of the art community for 2.5 years on X & now here for a few months, & I can tell you with certainty that artists on @farcaster are at a crossroads. Best case 1: There's some foundational shift where the fc ecosystem elevates these "quality content" creators & they can have a meaningful existence here. Best Case 2: They go explore Lens or maybe back to X (where despite the algo, they get some recognition for their art from their peers). Worst case: They get disenchanted with web3 altogether because they've been scammed, rugged, ignored, reduced to a number & pretty much treated like second class citizens regardless of where they exist. I worry about this the most. Irony 1: The art community is the most vibrant community any social community can have. We literally have generational talent hanging out amongst us & most of us are unaware. Irony 2: Artists who are here are the most tech forward of the normie bunch we'd wanna onboard. Biggest assets for any social platform. 1/2 🧵

1) wallets and platforms don’t give a fuck ab artists bc the art here is supposed to be about tradeable value. you can’t organize your wallets bc the goal is for artists to keep dropping.

minting as an action is a habit products want to instill in doing so, commodifying the work, creating the wrong community with fomo marketing, subsidizing giveaways, and racing to the bottom

I wouldn’t say they don’t give a fuck. I think they’re iterating the same as we all are. Some good iterations, some bad. Wallets are not supposed to be organizers imo in the same way a wall is not. It’s the owners responsibility to organize. Can’t blame platforms for thinking about their survival too and mints is what keeps the lights on.

I’ve never thought about why wallets are such a visual and informative nightmare, but they are. I’ve spent many hours speaking to @sunnysangwan about the future and the unlock of digital art displays and software. It’s the missing piece to the ecosystem as it exists. People have accumulated so much and we need better ways to be able to access, organize, and utilize what we’ve collected.
