Consumer Crypto

VSCO, canva, pixlr, tezza, polarr, phlo, etc

these are popular, yet not sophisticated apps that set the UX standard for basic “creator tools” for the largest demographic of creators: iPhone photographers

wild that most of crypto seems to not approach “creator tools” with this established standard in mind*

Honestly, I think Instagram might be a better example here for iPhone photographers, and TikTok for iPhone videographers

VSCO et al are *insanely* complicated compared to Insta/TikTok editing tools

Also likely the reason why Insta/TikTok are billion dollar+ companies and the others are not

Totally - but I don’t see a single crypto creator tool in your first post? (I also haven't heard of any of the people you named, so I'll take the L on that and assume I'm out of the loop there)

Zooming out here: If we're talking about growing the crypto economy through creator tools, I still think it's worth asking ourselves what the default should be. In that case, I'd still vote for Insta/TikTok as defaults over VSCO et al., rationale being general accessibility and TAM.

think we agree that crypto creator tools aren’t on par with any web2 apps.

agree that ig and tiktok are good for basic, but i was referencing people who are actual creators as a lifestyle. 

none of the aesthetic / lifestyle influencers I know use instagram’s basic filters anymore.

Helen Owen launched her own filter app because Instagram wasn’t sufficient for her.

Anna Xitar and Paige Lorenz doesn’t use TikTok to edit their videos or vlogs.
