I've been a part of the art community for 2.5 years on X & now here for a few months, & I can tell you with certainty that artists on @farcaster are at a crossroads. Best case 1: There's some foundational shift where the fc ecosystem elevates these "quality content" creators & they can have a meaningful existence here. Best Case 2: They go explore Lens or maybe back to X (where despite the algo, they get some recognition for their art from their peers). Worst case: They get disenchanted with web3 altogether because they've been scammed, rugged, ignored, reduced to a number & pretty much treated like second class citizens regardless of where they exist. I worry about this the most. Irony 1: The art community is the most vibrant community any social community can have. We literally have generational talent hanging out amongst us & most of us are unaware. Irony 2: Artists who are here are the most tech forward of the normie bunch we'd wanna onboard. Biggest assets for any social platform. 1/2 🧵

1) wallets and platforms don’t give a fuck ab artists bc the art here is supposed to be about tradeable value. you can’t organize your wallets bc the goal is for artists to keep dropping.

minting as an action is a habit products want to instill in doing so, commodifying the work, creating the wrong community with fomo marketing, subsidizing giveaways, and racing to the bottom

Totally agree with fomo. 2021 in the art market was a proof of concept, unfortunately lot of artists thought it to be the baseline. The bottom is not a race imo, it’s a new price spectrum unlock. For art to permeate, it’s gotta be low cost, low friction and a no regret kinda transaction. For artists, there’ll be multiple paths to success. Some will run through museums, some through millions of screens. I think the low cost mints unlocks the latter.

if users can’t organize their collections they can’t trade or appreciate them as easily. they also can’t find or engage the artist. piggy bank won’t work at scale.
