Can someone tell me what the creator economy is on Ethereum apart from just minting NFT’s or tokens that you can sell your fans? Like, is there any kind of interesting unique business model that’s not a convoluted weird way of just saying “hey please buy my art on chain, even though you could’ve just watched it for free, as a way of supporting me or speculating on the price” ? Sincere question I’m not saying that that’s totally unvaluable. Platforms like Patreon are successful, but I kind of hope there’s a more interesting business model that either hasn’t been thought of yet or that I haven’t heard of.

what option are you envisioning that is not "people spend money to support artists"? some types of creators can get corporate sponsorships but those are usually only viable if you already have an audience

Well, I have a couple of ideas, but I’m really hoping there’s something someone else is building. That is both. 1) only possible on crypto and 2) provides real tangible positive sum value beyond speculating on something or effectively donating to “own” something that by owning doesn’t actually get you any real tangible benefits. I can imagine something on farcaster, for example, where you can pay a creator a set fee to get a response from that creator to a question (video or text response). What would make it unique to crypto compared to cameo for example is there could be a very simple oracle process where using economic games you could incentivize people to vote on whether or not a response satisfies the request and hold the money in escrow until majority vote says it does. This would make responses higher quality than on cameo or just donating to a streamer or whatever. And considering it’s on L2 eth rails could be extremely cheap To run (camera takes 25% fee)
