Content has a shelf life, and most folks in tech/crypto/AI aren't modeling this space with a time decay function.

Content creators, conversely, are keenly aware of how quickly the feed moves and attention disappears.

One day you're hot, the next you're not.

I can see this gap clearly, and that’s why I'm struggling with the execution of some of these content coins. There's very little discussion around managing the life of the piece itself relative to the initial market making.

The worst thing we can do is introduce a moral hazard by creating token systems that reward initial hype but fail to incentivize the ongoing work required to maintain relevance. It sets unrealistic expectations about the sustainable value of content and misaligns creator incentives.

A promising solution could be milestone-based vesting schedules that release tokens gradually as content maintains relevance metrics over time, not just initial popularity/launch.

Users and creator teams do consistently return to manage their interests. Rewarding them for it seems like a no-brainer to me.

Such an important point content isn’t static, and markets need to price in time decay if they want real sustainability.
