Support Living Artists

HUG 🤗

Up til 230 last night trying to redo a hug entry. Stinks now artists make no money & then have to pay so many fees to enter contest. 

1. Mint url
2. Pay for entry
3. Pay fee to gallery

Somethings gotta give

This is the problem.
We are not lemons to squeeze.
This is not a contest, this is a pyramid scheme.

F*ck gatekeepers.

This is why we need to find new ways.
This is exactly why I started the @trpplffct poetry grant fund.

We are charting new, independent ways to earn.

were those gass fees? or "platform fees" like on Zora?

Not sure in this instance, because I only looked at it once. But the setup was simply that these are fees to be added to the gallery. So, these are costs to the artists to get their work in front of people in the hope they earn a bit back from mints.
