This isn’t my first Rodeo. This licensing clause is shit for artists and rehashing much of the worst of web2. To make this less opaque - once you upload, Rodeo can use, reproduce, and distribute your work in any way they see fit, for as long as they want, anywhere in the world, and without paying you a dime. That’s a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to do whatever they want.

It also doubles down on the same centralized structures we need to escape. They can host, index, and profit from your work in massive, locked-down databases, effectively recreating the same walled gardens that gave creators so little say in how their art was circulated or monetized. Slapping a “Web3” label on top doesn’t fix that problem.

When I was working on an NFT gallery, I found that multiple NFT stores "IPFS" only worked through their gateways, which they rate-limited or at  times didn't even work right, & there was no way to get back to the minting store page bc the NFT didn't contain basic info & their sites didn't even do http right.

Blockchain developer, scraping and smart contracts.

I guess the point of my rambling is that I don't trust anybody because vagueness and minor bugs always seem to land on the side of benefiting the vendor by trapping you on their platform while interop crumbled.

In the end all the little problems added up to it was hard to show your stuff in other places except for the minting store (and OpenSea)
