This is a @tombeck.eth appreciation cast. 

I know I've shared this quote from his insightful piece "Against the Creator Economy" before, but it's really speaking to my struggles behind the scenes lately, so y'all get to see it again.

Have I mentioned that every single essay he's published at The Driftless deserves multiple re-reads...?

💜 Another thing I should've added: you're the kind of writer I was talking about in my piece "Writers, Web3, and Earning a Living" when I asked readers to think about what it costs us, *collectively*, when brilliant writers spend the bulk of their time in day jobs "earning a living" while their writing gets squeezed into whatever time is left over at the end of the workday. 

I want to live in a world that makes it an option for you to write "full-time" (or whatever schedule works) if you so choose, because these essays are a service to all of us in web3. They're what @chriscocreated has called a public good.
