ZM the energy’s high today — we’re live for Let’s Talk About Web3 Season 3, Episode 5 with Reid DeRamus from Paragraph. Reid’s been part of the story behind Hulu, Crunchyroll, HBO Max, Yem, Substack — and now he’s helping writers turn audiences into communities and communities into economies. Tonight’s convo’s not just about publishing; it’s about rewriting how creators own and grow their words. The mindful pulse of today? Evolution. Paragraph’s rolling out Writer Coins — a way for readers to back your journey, not just your latest post. It’s the next wave of creator ownership: rewarding your earliest believers while building long-term alignment between artists and audiences. That’s the future we’ve been building toward in ZAO — one where creation has memory, and support has weight. Join us at 6 PM EST on Twitch, Retake, and Pinetree — come ask questions about Writer Coins, the evolution of Paragraph, and how the Web3 writing world is leveling up. See you in the stream. – BetterCallZaal on behalf of the ZAO Team
