genuine question*: for artists who donβt like the new 30 cent default that some platforms now use, whatβs stopping you from using a platform that allows you to set your own price or a higher default? what do you take into consideration when choosing a home for your art? *all my questions are genuine lol

i've seen several artists state that they are considering minting with their own smart contracts on Manifold. It's not a bad idea, but often requires an existing (and large) audience to guarantee consistent sales. my gut feeling says that now that art has been made 'cheaper' by this 30 cent model, collectors are disincentivised to use more exclusive art platforms such as SuperRare, Foundation, etc. Would love to see some stats on the current number of visits / transactions on Foundation, SuperRare and other major art marketplaces these days tho. Web3 is so entrenched in whatever the current ~meta~ is that many artists have to ride the wave of what's trending to earn some money. rn that seems to be Zora and Rodeo, but if you don't go viral on any of these platforms (most don't), you're making peanuts. (as a side note I have so much fun with both Rodeo and Zora and love collecting on both platforms... but earning has become a struggle on there).

Speculation drove a lot of that, as the meta in 2017/2018 Decentraland was mostly just art. and 2021 built off that. I do like the free mints however, they drive more traffic for smaller artists and create a lot more value oftentimes, smaller artists are seeing a few mints versus none now.
