Publishing is still an unsolved area, and Web3 projects did very little till now to solve the most annoying problems in publishing & ownership. I buy a movie on my Apple device, but the problem is I can never leave iTunes. I buy books on Kindle, but they're not mine. Same for books on iBooks. I mean publishing of anything -> books, magazines, art, audio, video, as well as aforementioned movies, and whatever is coming. I am not seeing any progress π¬ I don't see anybody making Kindle-like publishing easier and more accessible onchain. Maybe it's waiting for Swiftie to kick everyones' butt.

Problem IMHO is using the word "buy" when what they're really doing is renting. Apple doesn't want you to own the song, they just want you to give them a bigger margin on the rental. The unit economics on media need to be unwound for the fundamental model to change. Independent publishers have a lot more control but they also still need a minimum scale to be viable.

Most of the infra in crypto is built for traders, not readers or watchers. Onchain ownership means nothing if the actual experience of consuming the thing is broken. We have solved this at FanTV. You'll think it is any other app for consuming videos when you use it. Try it out! π

This project is publishing books on-chain - device for reading is an issue, however. That's the key element for me apart from ownership. https://www.alexandriabooks.com/
