New essay in my Forms of Incubation series (10 min read). 

Thanks @trishd for the Zorb art!

TL;DR: 
- When art is "free," who pays?
- The arts generate abundant value
- Imagine a restorative onchain creative commons

For the curious:

The appreciation for Zora is genuine and unsolicited. This is not a sponsored essay; it’s a gift to the community.

I subsidize all my intrinsically motivated projects through my paid client work as a freelance copy editor.

The links in the essay also tell a story.

My fondest hope for this essay is that it might help inspire further work on positive-sum funding possibilities centered on reciprocity for creative labor, especially for creators with small audiences.

I wrote the big-picture piece on Zora that I wanted to read.

Oh, sweet - a new essay from Danica!
This is going to be useful to get my head around Zora, and where it fits in the ecology.

Man, the UX around bridging is still major friction! This feels like such an avoidable footgun on these crypto networks!
