New short essay (3 min read) on value and creative labor. TL;DR: - The vast majority of pro writers don’t earn a sustainable living from their creative work. - This is a huge collective loss. - Can web3 do better? https://paragraph.xyz/@danicaswanson/writers-web3-and-earning-a-living/?referrer=danicaswanson.eth

Feel like @cameron would have input on this. Basically how web3 can enable content to stand on its own as monetization instead of having to play the chase followers and ask for subs sales game. More writing less shilling To me collect on paragraph and things like that are an awesome way. Tipping natively like warps

@samuellhuber.eth - thanks for being a CLP and facilitating the discussion (and tagging @cameron). Much as I love FC, cast threads are ephemeral by design, which doesn't lend itself to carrying on these discussions in an ongoing way. I think we'll need another approach if we're to build a literary minting culture.

“More writing less shilling” is my North Star too. How can web3 get there? I doubt tipping will be enough. But I'd like to see 1000 experiments bloom. We don’t have to start from scratch. I think we can learn a lot from the mechanism design of @zora Protocol Rewards and the Ethereum Protocol Guild.

Appreciate the tag! Inside me there are 2 wolves. The first one sees the state of the ecosystem and can’t help but wonder if society has honestly priced the value of good writing. Maybe writing as a tool is already relegated to the dustbin of history? The 2nd is building creator tools to test that thinking.
