try to argue against content coins from first principles. if a video on tiktok has millions of views, it has value. why should a single platform control that value? why shouldn't that value be explicit? why shouldn't the creator benefit from that value? seems good to me.

one pushback here could be that the millions of tiktok views has value because it means more people get to see the ads that are attached to it; the ad model is how tik tok monetizes > today; 100% of that money goes to the platform; instead, more should go to BOTH the user who saw the ad and the content creator.

right but ads are just monetizing the attention what if the attention itself is inherently valuable? that's the value of the piece of content.

ads monetize the attention of the viewer of the content; as onchain taste profiles grow (via tx history) perhaps onchain businesses can start monetize the attention of the collector is this in line with your thinking?

Does this imply a two-way market for attention? Attention is definitely valuable… to creators and platform (currently). Attention is something given by an audience So through this I guess you can further commoditise attention… Does this mean content creators could “purchase” attention from audiences? On the other hand, audiences would provide engaging content with attention “free of charge” thus providing a profit/surplus to the content creator Could platforms purchase attention from audiences? I see the play now, I think, if you care about empowering audiences and creators, rather than platforms. Currently, the audience would be selling their attention to platforms that host engaging creators. In the future, audiences would sell their attention directly to content creators. Ramble ramble ramble ramble What would further commodification of attention mean? Who might benefit and from what? I’ve fully lost myself now
