endless coins drive sequencer fees much more than 1:1 or limited edition NFTs, btw “show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome”

we are just earnestly trying to build better tools and economic systems for creators. you can disagree on our strategy but there's no conspiracy. lots of people tell me I'm dumb for trying to make farcaster happen too. won't stop me from being all in.

we all want better tools and economic systems for creators. what’s rubbing many people the wrong way is a) recent aggressive pushing of only one tool (despite there being many), b) the casual disregard for feedback from creatives (“no this better”), c) inconsistent messaging around traders vs creators.

a) i bullpost farcaster every day and it's for creators. i also use and post about clanker, rodeo, and many others. coining content is a new breakthrough and zora is the only one doing it, so i'm talking about it. b) i don't think it's casual disregard to spend many hours listening and sharing my perspectives. ymmv c) where has my messaging been inconsistent? creators should be able to make money. traders should be able to make money. we should design market structures that enable that. coining is the next step and we have more work to do. we need to culturally reset to enable this to happen.

a) yes i know you support so many other creator-forward projects (that's why so many love base). optics right now don't make it seem so. there's a very clear perception of narrative capture and positioning zora as the canonical creator path when it's still TBD with mixed results. i notice you have since shifted messaging to include other creator platforms, but do you understand how that may have rubbed people the wrong way initially? b) creatives have shared honest, authentic reactions about vibes, value leakage, etc. and those are getting hand waved away in service of "it's early, still day one, this is better" on the timeline. with that framing, do you understand how they may feel casually dismissed? c) messaging is inconsistent because are we optimizing for sustainable creator income, or memetic trading volume? which cultures do we need to reset? trading culture or creative culture? both? and who is the "we" who decides this? with all these questions rising, do you understand how its not so clearcut?
