ok maybe i'm dumb but isn't a $1 open edition kinda the same as paying 99 cents for a song on apple music circa 2009??? there are reasons we as listeners evolved past that model, incl better flexibility, variety, costs, and discovery — right? yes, crypto allows for artists to reward early fans BUT fred again and taylor swift and maggie rogers did this without crypto individual song mints could make sense for consumers who want exclusive content (ownership), supporting indie artists (patronage), permanent access, but those are the exception to the rule: the vast majority of consumers prefer the streaming model imo better model would be /hypersubs to access a curated library of $1 songs where artists get distribution through trusted musical curators instead of a centralized platform and some sort of revenue share if a listener really loves the song, they can decide to mint that individual song for $1 idk just spitballing

other reasons why $1 onchain songs > 99 cent apple music: direct artist-fan transactions (but again artists do this already w/o crypto) cross-platform accessibility (except seems far off given current landscape of music apps) there must be a media-first onchain social app for $1 onchain songs to work

I love what vault.fm is doing with individual artist subs, lowering the bar for shipping music (drop tracks from voice notes) exclusive chat and apparently text alerts for shows. Sound.xyz is behind it so it’s sneaky crypto!
