genuine question*: for artists who don’t like the new 30 cent default that some platforms now use, what’s stopping you from using a platform that allows you to set your own price or a higher default? what do you take into consideration when choosing a home for your art? *all my questions are genuine lol

What frustrates me about Zora is that they didnt just change the free mint price to 30 cents but that they took away our ability to set our own price and the ability to limit the number of editions. Artists were getting their bills paid on Zora previously. I am not so sure its possible now. I have fewer complaints about Rodeo because they brand it specifically as a social app for sharing WIPs and the like. What frustrates me about the shift is they are not building any bridges between social collecting and patronage (buying 1/1s or fairly priced editions). It feels as though they gave up on digital art having value, and are asking everyone to give up with them.

Hellz yes! Exactly. And I had existing themed collections on Zora that I planned to add to over time. I am unwilling to add new pieces to it now, but abandoning a collection in progress and breaking across two different platforms/chains is frustrating.

Same. I may continue to add to them. But it's a social app now, not an art app. It's a sticker shop, not a print shop or an art gallery. I'll mint my new collections on manifold or @highlight

Which again is totally fair. Those apps have their purpose and their place in the ecosystem. It's the retroactive switch that feels like a rickroll.
