Crypto should fund high-quality writing sustainably through tokens but we haven't figured it out yet. If good writing generates attention and tokens are a great way to monetize attention, why is it easier to sell subscriptions as a writer than it is to sell tokens? We've tried NFTs. You can collect a post on Paragraph but that's not a great way to make money as a collector. I doubt anyone is speculating on Paragraph NFTs and without speculation, it's impossible to make money sustainably as a writer selling NFTs. Could ERC-20s be a better token standard for writing? Imagine each post had it's own memecoin and that readers could speculate on. Would they want to? Or instead of subscribing to view a writer's content you bought their token for access? I'm not sure what the right token model is for writing but hoping to see more experiments here.
