🧭Recalibrating 🌍Worldbuilding

We need a best of both worlds strategy to bridge art & content:

Content should not be considered art. Content is what is used to promote art (or other value encapsulant, eg YouTube videos).

Monetizing content via coins or low cost mint meta is great! It leads to sustainable creation, larger audiences, & the micro transaction layer that has been missing from the internet.

But this should not be conflated with low supply, higher cost “art”. Mixing the two makes collectors value art less & artists feel like they’re not appreciated.

The key issue here is that we’re not aligned between creators, collectors, & consumers.

Collectors want collectibles with long term value potential. This aligns with artists, but is a small pool.

Consumers want coins they can speculate with. This aligns with artists wanting to make a living from a larger pool, but can leave Artists feeling undervalued.

Content =/= art

No, they are not synonymous. 

Content is what has been created as a filler mechanism to keep up with the web2 algorithms. 

Eg, the “post” is content, because we must post many times a day to be considered relevant. It is derivative of the art itself (the underlying asset). 

Sharing a photo as a post (or cast) becomes content because of the container and context of being on social media. 

Art is the photo itself, which took many hours to capture, edit, and create, with the eye of producing beauty or conveying emotion from the artist.
