In order for media to be a public good, it needs to be non-rivalrous and non-excludable. These days, pretty much all media is non-rivalrous, meaning that one person enjoying it does not take away from the next person enjoying it too. Great. But most media available today could not be described as non-excludable. Thats why at @zerorightsmedia, our content will always be free to access and ungated by any paywall, so that everyone everywhere can access it (and even save, remix and reuse it.) When Ethereum’s media is as open source as our ecosystem, everybody wins.

This essay by @vitalik.eth called “The Revenue-Evil Curve: a different way to think about prioritizing public goods funding” shaped a lot of my thinking on this topic, especially since “David with a podcast” is one of the examples used throughout. Highly recommend reading: https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2022/10/28/revenue_evil.html
