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

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?

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 https://warpcast.com/six/0x22819bcc

i agree, no excuses for not being here — a while back i made peace with the fact that i can keep up with farcaster at my own pace. don’t have to overthink it. about outcasts, that too felt like a cash grab to some folks. apparently nfts weren’t supposed to sell at 0.05 in 2023, so pricing is always going to be tricky unless it goes viral and at least some people can make some money out of it.
