The current revenue model of the internet reduces our vibrant subcultures to 1-dimensional infinite content feeds, forcing culture's creators to compete against each other for attention. And while the worlds attention has centralized around a few platforms, there's been a rise in cultural attachment as a primary selling point given the near unlimited optionality in products and services. Thus creators are sponsored to push their fans to consume products and services from companies that are only interested in profit. Creators command a huge amount of attention in the world, but their cultural influence is co-opted by corporations for soulless ends.
has anyone had trouble paying their application fee before? should we add pay with card/apple pay to the flow?

New /flows direction 🤠

In order to allocate capital, we need to measure impact. In order to measure impact, we need truthful data.

Put another way, we need to make it incredibly costly to fake impact. So much so, that the only economically rational thing to do is to act honestly and build for Nouns.

We require periodic updates from builders. Different verification methods aim to make it harder to maintain a lie over time.

But we still need to rewards investigators to research, spot, and challenge liars. There's currently no explicit reward to do this, outside of the implicit incentive of being a TCR token holder.
