Got mixed feelings about the Creator Economy hype. Saying "Everyone is a creator!" is like saying, "Everyone is a basketball player." It's, of course true, but just like only a few players end up in the NBA, only a few creators end up making significant money online.

And although I think creating is great and people learn a lot even if they end up making $0, it's good to be honest about the odds of winning.

Perhaps it should just be seen as "now everyone can create", multimedia communication has been democratized.

Good point. But don’t throw away the babe with the bath water. Decouple creation from economics. Promote creativity without promising $$

Created to Become. Maybe we are all our own creators of our digital selves. Yet we’re currently segmented and separated across applications. Shift the perspective towards self-sovereignty and extract value online.

"Everyone is a creator" is a false statement. Everyone could be a creator, but most choose the comfort of being a consumer. Becoming a creator doesn't imply ability to monetize, at all or significantly, your creations. Similarly, choosing to play basketball doesn't guarantee you'll become LeBron James. Perspective.

Everyone could be a creator, but not every creator could find 1000 true fans.

"Everyone is a creator", but not everyone monetizes, and only a few do so at a large scale, leaving only a few to define the creator economy.

But perhaps all you really need is 1000 true fans
