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.

@six @androidsixteen.eth @kia – you smart and fair and skeptical fellows. What's a steelman of the argument that coining content *should* not happen? (Not saying you believe this, just want the strong argument) I understand people who don't *want* it to happen. I understand people who doubt it *will* happen. But I don't get why people believe it *shouldn't* happen. To me it seems strange to want to prohibit entrepreneurs (in my mind that's what creators are) from having access to whatever tools enable them to profit directly from the success of their work, by way of entirely voluntary exchange from their audience.

i can’t do a good steelman for why it shouldn’t. i think saying “it shouldn’t” is wack. it can and it probably will. though, if this was a logics seminar, i’d maybe say, this should be a via positiva argument, not via negativa. as in what’s the reason to actually do this (rather than why not). and if that reason is so appealing then who’s problem is it solving and why these people who’s problems been solved aren’t here talking about the amazing impact this has had on them. in conclusion i love that have been considered for this segment and would like to thank my farcaster mom and dad

@androidsixteen.eth gave my favorite positiva argument for why to try: bc it *might* empower creators – people trying to earn a living by putting stuff out there that other people like. I also think creation is one of the few parts of the economy that can grow, and that people increasingly enjoy doing it.
