content needs two things to survive: pricing and distribution

there’s a constant battle to find what the natural value/result for both of those should be, it’s the million dollar question!

I think for most content like a regular cast on Farcaster or something it doesn’t need to necessarily 

the point I was moreso trying to make with the original cast is that finding natural pricing and distribution for content is and has been one of the most challenging, back-and-forth parts of the Internet’s history

especially with the Zoining stuff and @jacob’s piece on natural price discovery for content this kinda stuff has been on my mind more

i love jacob’s blog post, and i still don’t see how pricing content *makes it* survive

w/r/t distribution - content that gets shared “stays alive” but content that doesn’t get shared dies; this part of your original cast makes sense

it’s the pricing part that, while interesting and new, still doesn’t make sense to me in the context of “content surviving”

why does content need to be priced to survive?
