today's internet runs on the creativity of hundreds of millions of creators all around the world.

I am deeply offended by the idea that their content isn't valuable and that we can't use crypto to build a better system that serves them. 

I'll fight for creators to the end.

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 — 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 — 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?

in a somewhat similar way to how Ponder "measures" what people think *others* would vote for. 

except you replace the question with: "how much do you think the network would value this?"

then you add Randomized Voter Sampling (https://paragraph.com/@abundance/randomized-voter-sampling) to make this work at scale & hard to game

then you feed those signals to a LLM so it can surface more casts like that

is this the perfect solution? I don't know. but it's a step in the right direction

I don’t think this route will get us to where you think it does 

And i’m very wary of asking users to vote on something in order for them to buy it, especially for content on social media. I don’t think this scales and I think it likely leads to more frustration for users and creators.

how do you propose measuring the value they create?

Especially in a way that separates it from the attention that it attracts

It’s an attention economy. The attention is the value for marketers. It’s all brainrot or in this case zorarot.
