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.

The entire challenge is securities law. The moment film students at USC can mint tokens after their first short film and have YouTube viewers invest in them hoping they earn a lifetime of dividends for discovering the next George Lucas we’ll see a Cambrian explosion of creativity.

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

great questions. tbh i think “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” is pretty much it we've explored creator-audience revenue sharing mechanisms for @hypersub (https://docs.withfabric.xyz/stp/rewards), which people seem to like, but it hasn't lead to significant growth and doesn't seem to be a meaningful differentiator the optimistic and pessimistic view of "web3" is that it hasn't yet figured out novel, better monetization models

There's a lot of nascent work with streaming payments automatically/splitting them automatically See eg sablier or superfluid And protocols built on top which can do things like automatically redirect interest or staking rewards earned back to creators So still sort of like patronage but no upfront capital required
