I feel like we need to have conversations about balancing “artists should be able to price their work however they want” vs blatant cash grabs that seek to extract from the community by riding hype

artists think about this all the time—i know i do. i just launched a collection at 0.03, embracing the hype. which isn’t a bad thing btw. anyway, made my choice between free and 0.05, but free doesn’t keep you motivated long enough. also why is easier to farm tokens or chase meme coins than sell art? the thing is people will throw the same amount at meme coins, do it 10 times over, and not feel like it’s being ‘extracted.’ still, here for that conversation. how can i do it better?

i think in this specific instance, it stings a bit that you weren't really here over the summer/when the markets on farcaster weren't great, despite having done so well from it in the spring so when you come back after the market returns, and essentially immediately drop a collection of 1200 x 0.03 -- i start to feel skeptical about your intentions on navigating the farcaster environment i'm not saying you have malicious intent, but it gives weird vibes to me. was a huge fan of outcasts and would love to see you win https://warpcast.com/six/0x22819bcc

apologies for the charged language in the original tweet, was unfair to say that without having this conversation first

it’s ok, grateful for the conversation. needed it (more than the money). also what do you really think about the art — if we can look past the price? lately, i have killed more ideas than you’d imagine.

The art was actually really cool tbh -- gave me V for vendetta with impressionist vibes. And I loved the juxtaposition of the black and white nature of anon / the anon mask with the passionate fiery colors of the dance Unfortunately, the business aspects of it made me disappointed. I did not want to pay $100 for it
