coins

try to argue against content coins from first principles.

if a video on tiktok has millions of views, it has value.

why should a single platform control that value?
why shouldn't that value be explicit?
why shouldn't the creator benefit from that value?

seems good to me.

@six @androidsixteen.eth @kia.eth  – you smart and fair and skeptical fellows.  What's a steelman of the argument that coining content *should* not happen?  (Not saying you believe this, just want the strong argument)

I understand people who don't *want* it to happen.
I understand people who doubt it *will* happen.
But I don't get why people believe it *shouldn't* happen.

To me it seems strange to want to prohibit entrepreneurs (in my mind that's what creators are) from having access to whatever tools enable them to profit directly from the success of their work, by way of entirely voluntary exchange from their audience.
