people are passing around the zora manifesto...i've been trying to turn my fud modules down, and will certainly continue to use zora, but this situation is worth paying attention to.

brand strategy 101: make a promise and keep it

while an op airdrop may seem tangential, it's part of a longer thread of product and comms misplays that feel opposed to the brand promise. it's not easy to regain brand equity. 

see: creators complaining about mint costs and using rodeo anyway

the fact of the matter is that zora doesn't feel like it's part of the community, it feels like it's above the community. you can have millions in investments and still talk to your users on an equal playing field. crypto is too small to feel like anything but grassroots.

for enjoy, eh we've been plotting our expansion outside of zora seriously since wow. we received almost exactly 0 support despite all the activity we've driven in the ecosystem.

for me personally, similar vibe. minted in many places on various chains and am not so tied to a particular platform. appreciate you Trish!

I’m sorry if it’s inadvertently hitting you. I know how much work you have been putting in

100% this - I never used Zora to get anything but lately it feels like it’s moved away from what I liked about it and then couple that with 2 very broken OP drops in the past week and it’s like, maybe just don’t allude to giving people anything and they won’t feel ill will towards you you fail to deliver
