I find the backlash to platforms experimenting with new ways for digital artists to earn money for their work to be fascinating. If price per work is high, artists like it but the potential market of customers is significantly smaller, especially in a bear market. If price per work is low, artists don't like it but the potential market of customers is significantly larger, even despite a bear market. If 2021 NFT mania was an anomaly, then clearly the internet-native approach is lower price, larger market. But emotionally, that feels bad. Wonder how you bridge that.

Backlash against Zora didn’t happen overnight. It started last August when they drastically slashed the “free mint” value and revamped the protocol to chase that Instagram-for-web3 vibe. Then came the poorly named “retroactive community grant,” which eroded trust—only bots/farmers grabbed the funds, leaving genuine community humiliated, especially after Jacob downplayed nearly a million dollars and now this. if they set aside the narrative of “helping creators,” it would actually work better for them. Zora once managed to attract artists from Tezos to ETH thanks to the appeal of Primitive Zora, but now everyone is shifting back to minting on Tezos. I say this with regret, because Zora had been /kismetcasa partner twice before all these changes.
