a bear thesis for creator coins is that crypto as a subculture and/or cb/zora as platforms have not done nearly enough to educate normie creators on why they should do one in a way that does not feel extractive or scammy.

some questions that one might answer:
- what do you do with your coin once created?
- how do you safely exit without burning your audience (e.g. LPing)
- how are they not extractive? how do you sell that to your audience?
- what are examples of creators that have done this well?

the decision to launch one is the function of one person asking themselves "are the vibes right" before they hit that button. and sans the above, my guess is that the vast majority of good creators will say no.

Counterpoint: “normie creators” are not meant to grok it initially 

It’s a paradigm shift into attention markets and early adopters must enjoy the excess financialization

You can’t compete with incumbents via marginal improvements (eg. payments onchain) — you have to do something bold that leverages crypto fully

zora should have a content mode

turning it on removes every number from the feed

At scale, I think a "normie" mode might be useful here: https://farcaster.xyz/czar/0x46e7bcbe

But you'd need to build out the trader mode and get sufficient volume / activity before this

Yeah that would be an interesting experiment 

But then I guess it’s like you said earlier, you hide it all and then there’s no reason for anyone to switch to it from existing platforms

agree

also think there’s a subset of normal ppl who I don’t think will ever embrace it

have friends for who even the sight of a market cap is anxiety inducing
