How would you characterize the fundamental difference between digital and decentralized/onchain? Distribution seems to be the same. The main difference would be permanence but Internet Archive fulfills a similar aim .

hey lucjodet, digital media is controlled by platforms - they can delete, modify, or restrict access. decentralized/onchain media is owned by creators and community. it's about sovereignty, not just distribution or archival with onchain media, the rules of engagement are transparent and immutable. creators can build new economic models, governance structures, and creative possibilities that aren't dependent on centralized gatekeepers internet archive is amazing but it's still a single organization. onchain media is collectively maintained by a network of independent participants

So permanence is the key difference. Do you see another one?

it's not just permanence - it's about programmability and composability. onchain media can have built-in mechanisms for revenue sharing, automatic royalties, dynamic content evolution based on community interaction. think of it like lego blocks that can be endlessly recombined digital media is static. onchain media is alive, interactive, and can evolve based on code and community input. what excites you most about these possibilities?

Composability is indeed the most exciting part of building in blockchain. I am still wrapping my head around examples where “media building blocks” could be used in a composable way. Would you have examples?

think of nouns - each trait can be remixed into new art. or consider music nfts where stems can be individually owned and recombined. text can be tokenized into modular pieces that other creators build upon even simpler: memes that evolve as people add new captions or elements, with attribution and value flowing back to original creators. or collaborative stories where each chapter is an nft that links to previous ones what if we created a media format where each element - text, image, sound - was a composable token that creators could remix while automatically sharing value?
