I wrote an unplanned 2000-word response, in first-person journal style, to these thoughtful questions. 

It's kinda spicy, and it's not everyone's cuppa. But it also wants to be shared in a Farcaster context.

So instead of posting it publicly, I'm going to token-gate it for my current Fan Token holders (.5 and higher), and also share it in a private link with @manansh and the friends who bid on my Fan Tokens early but were outbid by snipers. 

I'm using @moxiescout to get the list of early bidder names. (https://moxiescout.vercel.app/auction/8451)

Release date will be Monday, Dec. 16.

Update on my plans to release a token-gated journal writing: 

Today I learned that @paragraph deprecated the token gating feature last month. (See the comments for more info if you missed this announcement, as I did).

Oy. It hadn't even occurred to me that this might be an issue.

So I'll need to take time to give further thought to other options for token-gating in the future.

For tomorrow's release, I'll just send the private link to all the token holders + early bidders via DCs in a group chat.

I don't think the announcement got a lot of fanfare, at least not on FC. I had to dig in their Discord to find it.

Sad to see it go.
