Some loosely held beliefs on how money will flow to creators:  

- "sponsor" - get status, appreciation or access.
- "collect" - acquire aesthetic artifacts for status
- "invest" - get upside from being early 
- "buy" - get useful services

Quick thoughts: I still think social platforms will capture most of the network value by owning distribution, then redistribute it to creators. Feels like the default until proven otherwise. Don’t think we’ll see meaningful p2p creator economies — but keeping an open mind.

Totally fair take. As long as distribution is platform-owned, value flows through them. Peer-to-peer creator economies sound nice, but without p2p discovery, they can’t scale. Curious to see what might break this default.
