Yes! Many thoughts. Also will tag @danicaswanson and @trigs 

But in general, we need a better way to accrue value to high intensity work. Eg, a newsletter might take me 20 hours to research and 10-20 hours to write. 

Having a collect button for a few cents, only to have the post lost in the chaos steam, is not the way. 

We also need a way for referential rewards. Eg, someone quotes someone else, value should flow back to the original creator. 

I’ve also heard people suggest pay as you read. Eg maybe it costs $5 to read the whole article, but the payments happen in micro, paragraph by paragraph, automatically. 

Lots of options, but the key is to compensate the deep thinkers, who currently have to rely on subscription models (which are difficult to manage and time consuming)

I agree with the idea of referential rewards.

That’s good way to capture the value of interactions, network effects, and the resulting onchain activity.

Another cool idea if we could have organizations like @desciworld  fact check research. The more credible sources, the higher value of your research paper, etc.
