a thought this morning: assuming Zora & Rodeo’s ‘creative social’ model aims to reach more normies, it will always stay a place for creators/artists posting pictures of their own work only OR photos that people take themselves of non-copyrighted material. Web2 socials brush the question of copyrighted material under the carpet most of the time and ppl mostly just accept it because the person posting isn’t making money from the post. For eg) I can post photos of an exhibition I went to without any backlash on Instagram. If I were to do the same on Zora or Rodeo, and earn money from a photo of an artists work on display, this could quickly involve commercialised copyright issues. So posting certain forms of content on these platforms is defacto limited. If the apps do indeed scale one day to involve millions of users that aren’t aware of these legalities, how would these platforms respond? wondering if anyone else has thought about this.

good point benna and yes as they try to scale up and reach beyond artists they are heading into that danger zone all the while developing for a social media market and leaving the artists behind who built their community this is what i’ve been thinking about…as they make changes that don’t support artist’s sales the artists will leave and the platforms will likely crumble

I thought for a moment that maybe with scale they would become like tumblr back in the days, with artists and other users who enjoy creative content as their primary audience. but this doesn't avoid the problem of people posting copyrighted images and earning money from it, so something to be aware of.
