genuine question*: for artists who don’t like the new 30 cent default that some platforms now use, what’s stopping you from using a platform that allows you to set your own price or a higher default? what do you take into consideration when choosing a home for your art? *all my questions are genuine lol

So unfortunately, over the years I have found that you only make sales on whichever platform is trending at the moment. People got super excited about OpenSea then foundation then Exchange Art then Objkt then Revel then.... on and on. Typically, when a new platform starts trending there is a mass abandonment of the previous trending platform. So while there is nothing stopping me from listing a 1 of 1 for 1 ETH on Foundation like its early 2022, it is extremely unlikely that it will ever sell, or that anyone will ever click the link. Further, the more it is engrained in the culture that $0.30 is the "correct" price for an NFT, the harder it is for more elite artists to justify their higher NFT prices that better match their IRL gallery prices.

how does this compare to selling your photography or art on non-NFT platforms, like more traditional platforms?

That is also hard. I work for a framer and gosh the stock sites also are really bad for artists too. Not to mention we have more autonomy over our art as NFTs and we hope to get secondary sales with residuals in the future.

web3 just has a more intense hive mind. If I am selling prints or photography services, it's generally to non-artist consumers who have no idea what is "fair or reasonable" and just make an emotional decision based on how badly they want my art or services. NFT art is so tied to crypto charts and speculation that mean and median prices and the artists' perceived long term potential in the space matters much more than simple emotional aesthetic appeal to potential collectors.
