I find the backlash to platforms experimenting with new ways for digital artists to earn money for their work to be fascinating. If price per work is high, artists like it but the potential market of customers is significantly smaller, especially in a bear market. If price per work is low, artists don't like it but the potential market of customers is significantly larger, even despite a bear market. If 2021 NFT mania was an anomaly, then clearly the internet-native approach is lower price, larger market. But emotionally, that feels bad. Wonder how you bridge that.

i really like @wanderloots.eth analogy of low priced art being like stickers rather than museum grade prints https://warpcast.com/wanderloots.eth/0x01ff27bc

Thanks for sharing @afrochicks! Here’s the full article: https://paragraph.xyz/@wanderloots.eth/post-tokens?referrer=wanderloots.eth I think @dwr.eth that these platforms pushed “art” for a long time, which is quite the loaded word. Now, they’ve shifted to pushing “content”, which is more in line with social media, but less in line with how we think of art. The switch also causes artists to lose trust in the platform. As an example, some photos take me 10s/100s of hours, plus the cost of gear, & acquiring the image (travel, planning, etc). Other artists can have the same, or greater invested time & money. If we say this should be worth pennies, the artist gets disheartened by the system that failed to value their art. Instead, they share to socials but don’t “sell” their art - they’ve produced content, which promotes the underlying asset available for sale (prints, limited editions, 1/1s) that the artist feels aligns with their value. We need to separate the two, content =/= art
