Anyone who knows me knows that I've been saying for ages that in my opinion the NFT space has struggled the past few years because we wrongly settled into a (centralized) culture of a few big ego collectors collecting 1/1s - but when the bear hit, they were over-committed and stopped supporting artists (since much "support" was an insincere tactic to build followings for dumping their own crap projects onto). What we truly need for a healthy art scene is a large collector base collecting lots of affordable editions. This eliminates the need for artists to worry about staying on the good side of a few arrogant collectors, as well as allows them the freedom to not converge on artistic styles that they think will appeal to these few people. It also eliminates the risk of art sitting in a dead wallet as a 1/1 for eternity, never to benefit the artist again. 1/2

I haven’t had a chance to look at what makes Zora’s secondary market “different” but why do you think that Objkt wasn’t the successful alternative for low cost editions and a secondary market? Or, what is it that will make Zora more successful? Is it simply the chain it’s on (Base vs Tezos)?

I guess i'm not sure what "secondary liquidity market" means. Objkt has a secondary market immediately after an edition is sold, too. You can browse all the mints of any particular artist as long as they are for sale. What's different with Zora? I just went to the site and not seeing anything different, still can't really explore editions that are no longer minting. I can't see how to browse an artist's work for sale. So I'm still not sure what's better.

You can sell into the liquidity market and buy from it - you don’t need to wait for a person on the other end
