and delve into projects without the noise.
I'll be here quietly, cooking in the background.

lately I've been feeling "lost", "unproductive"
but then when I think back at all the things that I've completed over the past 6 months, and things I have coming up
I realize that's objectively not the case...
going to start keeping a list of these
as an important reminder.

still with you on being baffled about how this is good for artists, but lowkey i want to fafo and see how it actually feels.
i applaud @mbranson for trying out this new model and actually being the reason why that little fafo but in me stays alive.
i dont know if i would be able to put one of my photographs as a face of the erc20, but maybe just something else entirely.

Still not convinced the @zora "coin" model - its supply, distribution and (lack of) liquidity - will be positive for artists.
Happy to be proven wrong.

I appreciate this optimistic perspective and there's certainly applications for such a model, especially in the "content" sector.
Art already was tokenized, so having it as a "token" isn't new. This is about the supply, distribution and liquidity. For art, there was never any need to have 1B supply. We also saw how quickly that fad died off after a few "bigger" artists had runners with the "coined" Zora mints a few months ago. There's simply not enough liquidity to drive that market, especially as it niches down.
Plus, collecting and connecting with art โ trading "coined" art. Just feel this format doesn't work for the artists, on a platform that previously touted itself as being for the art. But that's just my opinion and I recognize I can go elsewhere.

The biggest issue with the model is it's tone deaf to artists.
I support experimentation, FAFO and innovation on all fronts here.
But, tokenizing a piece of art (maybe not content, some other interesting discussions there) into a coin with 1B supply does nothing to "support" the artist. Rather, it turns their work into a vehicle for quick trading and flipping... theoretically. And I say "theoretically" because trading can only occur with volume... apart from maybe a few runners from well-known artists, there is little to no liquidity in this uber-niched "coined art" market. I'd be interested to see how the builders expect for that to change.
Furthermore, shifting the focus to trading art as a coin literally drains the soul of the art itself. I'd bet very few people are actually taking time with the art. Considering how it connects with them. Seeing if they "feel something" apart from the dopamine rush of the click / trade...
I'm not saying people shouldn't use it. I'm just saying it's now for me.

I think there's a clear distinction actually! With NFTs, we were introducing scarcity to an otherwise infinite asset (online content). We've now gone full circle to effectively infinite supply again (1 billion coins).
The issue is that with NFTs, even if you made one sale every 3 months, it was still vastly more money than creators/artists earned from social media, historically. It maintained the self-considered "value" of art, in part due to this new concept of "online scarcity"
What we're seeing now is a platform that historically touted itself as "for artists" abandoning their artistic structure in favour of "content". This switch has caused many artists to lose faith in Zora, regardless of whether the new cointent will be a better system moving forward.
