two things can be true: 1. this is good revenue generation for these pods that wouldn’t have been generated on traditional platforms 2. as a podcaster, “minutes listened” is infinitely more valuable to me compared to “mints,” which imo is the most unreliable onchain metric for quality of multimedia content

agreed with both, tho esp 2. i rarely want to mint a podcast, but have listened through to many. same with newsletters. most of this minting behavior feels like fomo rn. sidebar: i’m still not sure why we’re all minting all the content. i hear from many “this is the future of the internet so don’t stress it”; this does not compute with the digital clutter stress that is starting to impact my ocd brain. 🫠

good to know, that's validating to hear actually; and yes i think most minting is speculative from non-fans i think there are a lot of us struggling with the existential "why do we mint this?" question for me, it is bc imo it is important to "walk the talk" as an onchain builder and we must use the products we build

yeah good call on the non-fan speculative minting arc. i’m definitely struggling with ‘why am i minting this’ from both a creator and a collector pov. ++to walking the talk. i’m down to try most things, just finding myself rotating back to intentionality vs mint it all with my work at least. content wise podcasts and newsletter are the two that i’m still coming around to. (said as an msc sub who mainly listens via spotify and isn’t sure what i’ll ever do with the podcasts in my wallet, but i don’t mind that they’re there!)
