The biggest challenge for onchain media is not actually getting the media/content onchain.

It's getting people to want to pay for it in a way that makes it sustainable for the platforms and curators bringing the content onchain to scale.

We have more demand than ever to put new music on @cooprecs - but we're limited by the total addressable size of people in crypto that have an interest in paying for it

You need to obfuscate it so it’s just the rails

kind of like re-creating the discovery of going to gigs. like finding the ad for taylor swift's gig, long before she became who she is today. 

i reckon thats a market, but maybe not fully baked into the trading world of crypto (yet). more culture!

Correct the idea of paying for music on a song by song basis is very foreign to people and most of their current needs are met with a Spotify subscription

We're going after people who want to double down on being early and are willing to put money behind that belief to prove it to their friends

is the biggest problem the fact that most consume music via streaming, e..g spotify/apple music? the idea of paying for music, has gone into a subscription, that is now up to the platform, to distribute fees?

which is crazy because some of the songs you put onchain recently are going wild offchain

could be interesting if cooprecs takes similar path to TYB in which users are consuming / minting / being rewarded without knowing its crypto, just replace TYB brands with cooprecs musicians

Agreed - my point is mainly that there is too much supply and not enough demand.

Having trouble finding ways to get people who are currently onchain to want to collect or buy the content in a way that allows us to scale in tandem with the amount of music people are sending us.

We're getting by for now but we could be doing 10-100x more supply if we can figure out how to get people to want to support it.

Reality is we need to go beyond crypto and bring in a new class of buyers

yes! creators want distribution and audiences and true fans, sometimes as much as if not more than $$

I feel like the issue is there is no “app” or “front end” or whatever basically there is no Spotify for people to listen to the music they buy onchain. You don’t go to your wallet to listen to music. Until that can be played on everyone’s favorite app I dunno how it scales huge.

solve problems/provide new experiences for end users, not just creators

perhaps some cool insights will be discovered
