The most direct and high-signal way to support creators is to buy their art. NFTs made this experience digital. Subscriptions create an ongoing form of patronage. 

All of the above create a direct line of value transfer between the creator and their supporters. 

Coins don’t do this. Coins are traded through AMMs, and most of the value is *not* captured by the creator. 

Interesting experiments, but I still don’t understand how this is a better way of “supporting creators” than more direct, lindy alternatives.

i think the misalignment is in the assumption that creators aren’t supposed to extract value from the coin their supporters pump

if the default is they are supposed to, then it just becomes a more fun way of giving money to people 

participatory vs passive support. former is winner for the platforms and non-creator user-base. creator still gets paid
