coins

try to argue against content coins from first principles.

if a video on tiktok has millions of views, it has value.

why should a single platform control that value?
why shouldn't that value be explicit?
why shouldn't the creator benefit from that value?

seems good to me.

I wrote about this exact thing a couple years ago. I do NOT believe that all content should be coined. 

TL;DR 
The qualitative becomes quantitative.
The subjective becomes objective.
People become financialized.

I think about this similarly. We’ve already seen how homogenized society has become and how vanity metrics have shaped relationships, just from web2 social media.

These are the points I wish everyone thought about:

- If we’re not careful, we’ll see a similar trajectory to that of social media: lots of promise, thoughtless execution and growth, followed by a “oh no, what have we done” moment.

- When pieces of culture are intrinsically denominated and market-traded, art, music, creativity become about quantities over quality.

- Creativity becomes objective.
People become assets.
Relationships become transactions.
