I'm pretty happy just liking my friends' photos, don't really have any desire to mint them, would venture to say that most people feel the same way

you probably don’t think about liquidity enough // it is what it is  // build value, not valuation

I don’t want to *collect* my friends’ photos either :)

*mint* sounds dumb imho 

I like *collecting* cool art and photos

i guess for someone to feel compelled to mint a photo/artwork, they need at least one of three drives:

1. possibility of financial upside
2. provide support to artist 
3. collect some cool art/photo they like given it's 'near free'

can't see instagram-like minted images by ordinary users to possess much of these. 

I do see 1. on big users/artists and 2. for artists in general that have a community around them. Currently there are other products more suited to serve them out there. 

3. is incognito to me, might be the only solid case. 
A 0.0001 eth price point ($0.36 rn) is considerably cheaper than Zora's "free mint" (~U$2.3) and isn't a big financial barrier, maybe UX (pressing buttons to mint) is a bigger barrier. I'd love to see it getting traction based on this point but don't know how much of a 'collector' culture there's around the FC ecosystem. We shall see.

What do you think could encourage more people to consider minting their photos instead of just liking them? Any specific features or benefits that could change your mind?

There are many types of likes, and I also really like my friends

Zinger! Don’t mint if u don’t want to. No excuses and Fs needed to be given.

Liking and collecting are two different things, and they can coexist. Minting can be a way to show support to your friends while also adding a great piece to your gallery. Of course, that’s not for everyone; some people just want to like pictures and nothing more, and that’s valid as well 😁
