Last week on /earlymorningcrew we unexpectedly landed on the topic of @paragraph Many of us are power users of the platform and enjoy using it almost daily. But we got to thinking, what are some features we’d like to see added or brought back? Here’s a few: - Our own contracts (this is a table stakes for web3 content platforms) - Built-in recommendation engine for better content discovery - Improved monetization tools so creators are rewarded for their effort - Token gated content (used to work great with /hypersub) Read to see what else @pichi @gramajo.eth @treegirl @raven50mm I said: https://news.cryptosapiens.xyz/winning-the-onchain-creator-game-growing-your-audience,-monetizing-content,-and-new-token-strategies

IMO, monetization is the most important area to work on. This will be a blend of less-risky stuff (things aimed at increasing collect revenue) and higher-risk bets (new monetization features).

I'm a little skeptical of ad networks. You're catering to direct response ad buyers who are comparing performance against Meta, Google, etc. I think it's feasible to carve out experimental budgets, but hard to really generate meaningful revenue for writers / creators. Similarly, helping writers pay each other can start to make collaboration feel tick-for-tacky, or too transactional. Some of the better parts of the internet are driven by goodwill — folks with larger audience or more resources helping out earlier-stage folks (YouTube & Substack are good examples). Those kind of ecosystem tends to have more impactful collaboration than ones where it's hyper-transactional. Still, I think you can have goodwill be a primary motivator / driving force, but backed up with payments & financial incentives. And crypto rails make that easier to execute. Re: Base paying creators, we can't really influence that, and I'd wonder how sustainable that is. Let me know if I missed any topics discussed on the pod.
