we absolutely need to build better systems to reward creators for the VALUE they create
problem is that we're still mostly building systems to monetize the ATTENTION that content gets (and not its value)
any distribution graph of creator earnings on FC & TBA will tell you this β the rewards go for attention, not for content value
and the crazy part is that actually rewarding creators for value would be massively profitable for the platform that does it
because it would attract all the quality creators β it's something web2 simply can't compete with
so this can be done
it can be done profitably
and it can ONLY be done on an open social graph network
(you simply can't credibly surface value in a closed platform)
so what's holding us back from building this?
