the following thoughts are based on what have observed since i started minting works in the fall of 2018 . ideally an artist should not have to use social media at all unless they were intrinsically motivated to do so . have seen some artists do almost no social media and sell well just by minting their work on the platform . my best guess is that many collectors are not interested in social media and will simply scan through the platforms feeds . i think the platforms could do just a bit more on their end . have seen this work . a platform could easily cue up 4 or 5 casts a day of completely random selections of art from their platform and do a world of good with that . i do realise that the platforms already have their plates full in terms of what needs to be managed so my suggestion might not be realistic . although my proposal seems like something that could be an experiment . since all of this is experimental there's no reason it's not a route that could be tested .

discoverability with regard to platforms is as old as the internet. i remember when i was working in the book publishing industry that was the hot topic when ebooks were starting to go mainstream. all that is to say, that i would love to see platforms cue up some rando selected art, but what i learned from the early 2000's in the book publishing industry was that niche communities of people were often the first to discover the cool new thing before platforms started promoting the author. i'd like to see more niche art-focused communities and efforts. i think we're only just beginning to learn what's possible with decentralization and community.
