🎯 That's beautifully written and right on target, Trigs. I bookmarked it. Maybe turn that into a Paragraph post or something...? I agree about what a nerd-snipe it is to think about the implications of the gift as "giving increase" rather than "earning profit." Quoting from the gift economics channel FAQ (which I'm currently turning into a Paragraph post, as it were): "Our thesis is that economic models to sustain long-term creative work and community-building begin (but do not end) with gift culture. "The standard ways of monetizing creative work extract gift value, convert it into profit, and route the lion's share of it away from creative people. We want to go in the other direction: restore and preserve gift value flows, return more value to those who actually create it, and convert profit into gift. "It's a challenging systems design problem! But if there's anywhere it can be done, it's on Farcaster."
