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

What frustrates me about Zora is that they didnt just change the free mint price to 30 cents but that they took away our ability to set our own price and the ability to limit the number of editions. Artists were getting their bills paid on Zora previously. I am not so sure its possible now. I have fewer complaints about Rodeo because they brand it specifically as a social app for sharing WIPs and the like. What frustrates me about the shift is they are not building any bridges between social collecting and patronage (buying 1/1s or fairly priced editions). It feels as though they gave up on digital art having value, and are asking everyone to give up with them.

well said, i agree entirely. I think we're seeing the devaluation of art into content, much like we saw with web2 "posting" imo, the only way to save the cost is to set the cultural standard that people expect what they are buying on rodeo or zora is more akin to a post than to fine art

Yes. I think there's an inevitable future for "collecting posts" like this. But it's important that we make the distinction for the public very clearly

Yes, there is a BIG difference between a piece of quick and dirty Midjourney art or a fun meme that took 10 seconds to create and a photograph of the sun rising over mountains that took 10 years of training, $3k of gear, and a 4 am alarm on vacation to create. I believe they both are art, they both have value both culturally and monetarily, but they shouldn't be priced the same. That really should be up to the artist and the market demands.
