some thoughts on what i'd love to see for artists on fc and/or base
this is something i personally have a hard time with and have heard the same from other artists
rn the minting, posting, and distributing of a photo are fragmented - i want to do all of these:
mint all of my photos for archival
post the photo on fc
distribute the photo itself
in my view, a "1,000 true fans" model is simple to understand while also likely providing the most financial upside for an artist, and if there is a gallery on the profile this creates a way to post once and earn ongoing as ppl explore the gallery, let the artist price each edition at whatever USDC they want, for me i'd prob just set this to $1
this aligns w the art collectors too who in general prefer scarcity
a mini app could potentially work, but i think a mini app for this purpose still creates quite a fragmented flow - when i can collect my artist friends art directly in the feed or on their profile gallery (without them needing to post the mint page via the mini app), and have it be the image itself im collecting instead of the cast, i would be all over this as a collector, and as an photographer it would be all i use to put my photos onchain going foward
onchain art is in its VERY early phases, and we have a chance to do whats right and give the artists full ownership, freedom, and flexibility 🌱
generosity is at the core of fc culture
i think tysm has a chance to build on this, onchain tipping culture originated on fc w degen, and it’s still early innings, this place is a new economy and there will be many winners
recommend checking out what @nomadicframe is building, i just joined tysm a few days ago
bullish places on the internet that want to see/hear more imperfect and random things about life, biz, etc
performative culture on the way out in my view
has nothing to do w publicly doing great work or sharing helpful things - more so talking about performance for the sake of only self gain, scripted, which a lot of “social” networks have rewarded for a long time, ppl were following incentives and can’t blame them for that, but the incentives can change
fc a prime example of new internet communities going back to being human, realness has always been valued here in a big way, we can both share/build interesting things while also being more of ourself, both are valued here, the latter doesn’t negate the former and sometimes it even makes ppl more interested in the former
experience > appearance
uncertainty > certainty
unpolished > polished
life as it is > life as ppl want it to be
a few that come to mind, list goes on
