I've been vocally critical about the recent pivot from posts to coins, but haven't offered alternative ideas in favor of posts / collectibles. To those still building this (@rodeodotclub), here are some things I've been wanting in the ecosystem that I think could be positive sum for all participants: 1) subscription minting: remove the friction of these 24h-to-mint attention games and just directly support creators I already (and heuristically) may like. Instead of hoping we cross paths on social feeds, I'd rather preload a wallet with funds that go to creators I choose as they mint future works. Then give me a weekly summary of what I minted and share it as a post. I should be able to see a projection for how many mints I can get over time. Also, subscribe to curators! 2) swap pool: given they're all priced the same at mint, collectors should be able to freely exchange unwanted posts for others. Maybe I collected too many editions and want to get something else. Collectors could receive swap offers. 1/2

3) better showcasing options: I reckon most NFTs got there views as we all poked around each other's OpenSea pages seeing who was holding what. That's less of a thing now that posts are not very speculative. @gallery was/is a great option but it required manual creation + manual directing. The top 9 posts are fantastic for this, though perhaps there are more ways to resurface pretty pictures we've collected. Something as simple as a web page that shows a full screen display of a random token from the provided address (as a url parameter). This web page could be used on the new tab screen in browsers, or an always on display, etc. None of these are groundbreaking by any means, and may not even move the needle entirely to compete with the state of coin mania. But I think a sustainable ecosystem goes a lot further than seeking explosive growth (a la onboarding the masses). 2/2

Subscription minting with return to pool for items you’re not aligned with owning otherwise it can just become noise.

#1 has been super successful via @hypersub and I don’t know why more platforms enable it. It’s built on an open source protocol called STP https://docs.withfabric.xyz/stp/overview

definitely agree on subscription minting we need more curation tools and more fun mechanism design around curation
