If you have a post with 10,000 viewers
1% of them tip .50
that’s $50 direct to creator with none of the bad feelings of speculation involved for either party 

We have all the building blocks for this today but don’t do it because …. ? 

Too hard to socialize the behavior?
Profit motive — trading leads to many more txn for the chains and platforms? 
Content is actually valueless and no one will ever pay?

$50 per 1k is 0.05 CPM

if a typical online person views 1000 things in a day that would mean they’d need to spends $18,250 per year

But you don’t have to tip all 1000 things you see? 

Half it? Hell, even 1/4 of that would be good given how little 10k views is

Has to be a diverse revenue mix for it to be sustainable on the tips side 

Platform 
Direct to fan 
Brand deals 
And creator owned brands/products 

Within Farcaster you can have 

Direct tips if we can create that culture 
Amps paid posts 
Hypersub for ongoing patronage 

Etc

what content producers earn must equal what content consumers spend

it could be that price IS sustainable if people view less than i initially estimated or if not all content is eligible and/or if the platforms subsidize

money in = money out
