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.

I like the idea of a streaming platform for indie artists that people can pay to watch movies on, and subsequently invest in the movie to earn a share of future revenue. Like retroactively funding it and investing in its future success. I agree real value accrual is tantamount for crypto in general
