Undecided if I'll hit publish. Represents my current thinking on Zora without going into the heady attention market stuff. Also I'm referencing Zora here but its from conversations with many of the platforms.

I agree on the financial side (which is the main topic that's debated rn). I've always been a fan of Zora and the thing that drives me the most today is: what's the positioning in terms of content? The fact that everything can fit in the platform is fun but also super confusing. I open my feed and I see random photos, beautiful paintings, product announcements, amazing stars cc @richardleighton. Not to say any of these is wrong but it's messy and I can't tell anyone "here's the type of thing you'll find on Zora". I'm reading the Cold Start Problem book these days and the story of Twitch is interesting in this regard - they were a generalist justin.tv platform and reached a growth ceiling at some point. That's only when they created a new platform only focused on video game that it took off: people were clearer (both creators and users) about what they could find on the platform. That could be an interesting move from Zora (don't know which topic would be better suited though). cc @zaak @jacob

Do you think it's a fee issue? I'd say the algorithm & the positioning of the platform could do this job
