strong opinion, somewhat strongly held:

creatives don't want to create for "content traders"

the word "trader" is inherently transactional — someone primarily seeking profit, optimizing for price movement without emotional or philosophical attachment to the asset itself

idk a single creative who seeks that out

creative vs career creative 

making music vs being a music artist

it's a proposal of a new monetization method, a career creative is always actively looking for this

but yeah its very gaudy compared to the norm of just doing something you love and passively monetizing with ad revenue from ads you didn't have to sell

to be clear, this isn't about the monetization method. nearly everybody wants creatives to get paid better, including myself.

this is about the language we use to talk about creative industries because language matters.

using "traders" to talk about creative work is not the best language to use to attract creatives.
