Zora

I think to succeed financially as a crypto artist today, community/audience building plays a much bigger role - if your main medium of monetizing your work is these open edition mints on Rodeo Zora etc, and these mints are more akin to “likes with money” rather than actually Collecting Art Objects, then the role becomes more similar to that of an influencer than a traditional Artist™️ because you’re optimizing for “likes”.

I don’t think one should think of these mints as Art Objects that are now being “devalued” to 30c, but that requires a bit of a mental shift since that’s what the whole digital art nft framing was built on.
