Does it bother you that most web3 products don’t have a business model?

Building getinboxzero.com and sharemint.xyz.

I also run a YouTube channel, "Learn from Open Source": youtube.com/elie2222 

you'll have to give an example, but generally no, because of the community-first ethos we see a lot here

founders can envision a business model, but the community can also be consulted once it's live

I feel like it's swimming with the current (of users), vs building a dam (to retain them)

i'd rather kill the radio and listen to the rain hit.

Would be interested to find examples of business models 😅

But some examples:
Farcaster 
Uniswap 
The Graph
Aave

Last two actually do but tiny revenues. And Farcaster I’m not actually worried for and can understand not yet monetising. But many services are run off magic internet money

Nft communities take in a large amount upfront and then don’t usually have additional income streams.

In terms of nft daos, purple and nouns are charities. Although noun’s holders seem to think each new noun sale is revenue when it’s really just selling more shares of their company.

Unis fee switch is turned off. Only lps make money today.

Yes, GRT has revenue. But around 6k per month 😂😂

Aave has 1m revenue per month as per token terminal. Other fees go to LPs. Of all the examples I mentioned this is decent in comparison.

but... uniswap, graph, and aave all have revenue models.

uni: fees on swaps
graph: fees on queries
aave: fees on borrowing

and aave has done ~$6MM in revenue in the last 30 days, I wouldn't call that tiny
