Moxiesplaining Journal Day 4: Valuing Attention

The 90-9-1 rule of participation inequality in social networks is well-known. 90% lurk; 9% contribute occasionally; 1% create. 

While creators (1%) get the fanfare, *all* these roles contribute valuable time + attention to the network.

Moxie Fan Tokens can:

- reward the value contributed by occasional contributors + lurkers 
- reduce the grind for creators

Any of these roles can buy (or be gifted) Fan Tokens to align their self-interest with the success of entities in the network.

Everyone can opt into the rewards loop. Not just top creators. 

This reduces systemic pressure to compete for limited attention. 

Lurkers who don't want to be creators can hold Fan Tokens and just enjoy lurking.

Creators + occasional contributors who hold Fan Tokens can contribute as they see fit, and take breaks when they want.

Brilliant.

(Moxiesplaining Journal is a daily window into my observations, learnings, and the view of Moxie from where I sit as a writer + editor).

I love that lurkers can actively contribute towards support in this model 💖

I love the lurker recognition aspect of it too. Readers contribute something vital to value flows, but they're so often overlooked.

I think of the value flows enabled by Moxie Fan Tokens as a potential catalyst for the curator economy vision that @tombeck.eth wrote about in this piece (which was a major inspiration for my Moxiesplaining Journal entry today, BTW).
