Thanks for the thoughtful input. I do think your #2 above could open paths to long-term sustainability for writers, at least in theory. But public goods funding is... challenging, to put it mildly. CLPs (conversational liquidity providers) whose work sparks good convos are significantly underfunded right now, and that's a systems-level issue, not a Paragraph-specific one. (Moxie tried to address this with everyday rewards, but ran into a number of issues). I like the way @vengist frames the problem: "Storytelling in general creates much network value, but only marketing styles have clear financialization paths. Many stories go untold, and/or the tellers of stories left without resources to continue." https://warpcast.com/vengist/0x43a2054c Another thing I keep returning to is the idea of mutualizing returns from relational work, as described in this piece on "post-cognitive income." https://www.combinationsmag.com/post-cognitive-income/ Anyway, just a few thoughts.
