when i see criticism around creator coins, i ask myself a) who is criticizing, b) what is their role in the industry, c) what is the criticism (e.g. what is the root of their frustrations)? in doing so, it becomes clear quite quickly that most people's core problem or frustration isn't really with creator coins.

My problem with it is that it does little to actually attract thoughtful content, and further turns to dial towards social being transactional, which further narrows the audience that is attracted to the platform to those who only want transactional social. The thing is, the teams that are doing this are blinded by vanity metrics that are clearly their North Star: market caps. What they miss is that it only amounts to a second order effect — the attention it accrues bringing money, which will leave just as quickly because creator monetization in web2 social was an ecosystem driver for content, separate from the users directly sending money (typically), rather than a direct flow.

Whatever these teams are doing though doesn’t hurt anyone and doesn’t hurt any direct ways to support It just means we have to come up with and build those direct ways while they’re hallucinating with coins

On the contrary, most normies are not equipped to deal with speculator rage from chart trench warfare

Yeah and they’re unlikely to engage with it but base may start adding these coins automatically for profiles so there’s nothing to deal with for them

Like the Internet personalities that people made coins for, price tanked, and then the same personalities had to deal with death threats from psycho speculators? If you don't see how this will go sour very quickly, you will.

No one is forcing anyone to buy or accept creator coins Most of them will sit with no liquidity
