Do you struggle with strategy around pricing, sizing, where to mint, etc?

Im curious about why the industry shifted to free mints (which aren’t actually free). Did demand for NFTs decline so hard that the only way to earn is through gas rewards? 

I’m also unsure about where to mint. We have token standards and promise interoperability, yet things still feel broken/buggy.

I don’t think the whole industry shifted to free mints. It is an innovation from @zora - with the benefit that other platforms can get a referral fee which helps with discovery 

Gen art, crypto art, AI art aren’t really doing free mints (Foundation, super rare, art blocks, fxhash, etc)

So free mints seems to be another tool that creators can use and probably benefits more media companies/creators. 

Writers, podcasts, etc. not really “fine art”

I'm pretty active in those marketplaces

Maybe the Farcaster bubble has given me the wrong impression. These days, I rarely visit any of the marketplaces you mentioned.
