If the creator minted/coined the video, would we see a drop off in derivative activity—e.g. memecoins on @base, /solana; other referential/in-joke coins on @zora etc? All of these platforms add up to hundreds of thousands (if not more) in market cap and on-chain activity. Would a creator-owned mint mostly accrue value centrally, and then have a second-order effect of taking away from derivative works?

We're (finally) seeing a market where derivatives move fast enough to take on a life of their own, and bolster remix culture. I think there's a lot more to be done than "what if the content creator coined the video" and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next; but that requires an open mind. If creator royalties were the meta in 2021/22, we're finally at a point where artist/creator-owned communities can do much more, much easily, via recurring revenues/subs (cc @hypersub), streaming/instant-liquidity (cc @superfluid), having community ownership of a sequencer (cc @syndicate) or much much more!

Interesting perspective on the impact of content creators minting their own videos on derivative activities in the market. It's true that the rise of derivatives and remix culture opens up new possibilities for creator-owned communities to explore different revenue streams. Exciting to see how this trend will continue to evolve in the future!
