I feel like we need to have conversations about balancing

“artists should be able to price their work however they want”

vs

blatant cash grabs that seek to extract from the community by riding hype

shaping the ideas that shape us /native /believein 🇵🇸

yea i mean end of the day it’s a market, you set a price for your good and ppl who want to buy at that price should buy, and those who don’t shouldn’t

am just wary about characters with repeated behaviors indicating extractive intentions

this is one of those things that feel fine to me

people can just not buy it

not sure the memecoin analogy makes sense/is relevant here? feels like a whataboutism. also conflating the buyers of memecoins with the issuers of nfts, which are two different sides of the marketplace

i don't think there's anything inherently right/wrong with embracing the hype on a fun trend. all of this exists within a permissionless free market, so it mostly just comes down to the individual contexts in which asset issuers and asset buyers make their respective decisions

i think in this specific instance, it stings a bit that you weren't really here over the summer/when the markets on farcaster weren't great, despite having done so well from it in the spring

so when you come back after the market returns, and essentially immediately drop a collection of 1200 x 0.03 -- i start to feel skeptical about your intentions on navigating the farcaster environment

i'm not saying you have malicious intent, but it gives weird vibes to me. was a huge fan of outcasts and would love to see you win

artists think about this all the time—i know i do. 

i just launched a collection at 0.03, embracing the hype. which isn’t a bad thing btw. anyway, made my choice between free and 0.05, but free doesn’t keep you motivated long enough.

also why is easier to farm tokens or chase meme coins than sell art? 

the thing is people will throw the same amount at meme coins, do it 10 times over, and not feel like it’s being ‘extracted.’

still, here for that conversation. how can i do it better?

What did I miss, who are we talking about?

the community in these cases may be more of a mirror

cash grabs attract cash grabbers

art attracts art collectors

sometimes they overlap, but usually not

Well said. A whole lot of the later showing up on the feed now
