ok maybe i'm dumb but isn't a $1 open edition kinda the same as paying 99 cents for a song on apple music circa 2009??? there are reasons we as listeners evolved past that model, incl better flexibility, variety, costs, and discovery — right? yes, crypto allows for artists to reward early fans BUT fred again and taylor swift and maggie rogers did this without crypto individual song mints could make sense for consumers who want exclusive content (ownership), supporting indie artists (patronage), permanent access, but those are the exception to the rule: the vast majority of consumers prefer the streaming model imo better model would be /hypersubs to access a curated library of $1 songs where artists get distribution through trusted musical curators instead of a centralized platform and some sort of revenue share if a listener really loves the song, they can decide to mint that individual song for $1 idk just spitballing

Streaming works better than people give it credit for (both sides of the equation) Onchain music can be interesting but feels closer to mixtapes (datpiff era) - needs to lean in to being "cult" just not the "number go up cult" imo +1 on social apps + Either the social apps need to handle onchain content better (needs to be delightful) or we need new apps that are just incredibly good at surfacing content you own or content like it Even the songs I love that I have minted I still listen to on Spotify haha
