New short essay (3 min read) on value and creative labor. TL;DR: - The vast majority of pro writers don’t earn a sustainable living from their creative work. - This is a huge collective loss. - Can web3 do better? https://paragraph.xyz/@danicaswanson/writers-web3-and-earning-a-living/?referrer=danicaswanson.eth

Feel like @cameron would have input on this. Basically how web3 can enable content to stand on its own as monetization instead of having to play the chase followers and ask for subs sales game. More writing less shilling To me collect on paragraph and things like that are an awesome way. Tipping natively like warps

Appreciate the tag! Inside me there are 2 wolves. The first one sees the state of the ecosystem and can’t help but wonder if society has honestly priced the value of good writing. Maybe writing as a tool is already relegated to the dustbin of history? The 2nd is building creator tools to test that thinking.

Thanks for commenting. Though I'm not aligned with the first wolf about the value of writing, I agree that an honest reckoning with this issue makes it awfully hard to stay hopeful about the state of the ecosystem. Web3 has a long way to go in recognizing how this hidden value flow dynamic constrains creative work.
