Great thread on a subject that's near and dear to my heart as a reader + writer who favors deep dives and loves Farcaster. It's worth clicking through to read all the comments. Regarding sustainable incentive structures and business models for deep-dive creative writing: this is a really tough problem that pre-dates blockchain tech. I'd love to be free to cast deep-dives here much more frequently, out of the sheer love of it. I don't need rewards as a *motivator*. BUT: that takes a lot of time and effort. Like most creators, I have to *buy* the time to do that work. How do we solve *that* problem? After years on Patreon and Substack, I'm confident that for the vast majority of creators, the answer is not "subscriptions" or "crowdfunding." At least not in their current incarnations. All that said, I think FC is the right place to experiment.

This is definitely the right place but it’s been rough for even hypersubs. Take a look at the last chart here. It’s not our imagination that’s it’s rough in the trenches. https://dune.com/0xluc/farconomy

Thanks for calling that to my attention. I respect Hypersub a great deal, but after years on Patreon and Substack I knew I'd never launch a Hypersub myself. Subscriptions aren't the right business model for what I do. Not sure what's next, but I'm really glad I'm here to participate and contribute what I can to the experiments.
