The most direct and high-signal way to support creators is to buy their art. NFTs made this experience digital. Subscriptions create an ongoing form of patronage. 

All of the above create a direct line of value transfer between the creator and their supporters. 

Coins don’t do this. Coins are traded through AMMs, and most of the value is *not* captured by the creator. 

Interesting experiments, but I still don’t understand how this is a better way of “supporting creators” than more direct, lindy alternatives.

Not to mention that NFTs could give supporters a nice artifact. I would collect a music NFT that has high bitrate music and a high res artpiece attached to it's metadata, for the same reason I buy vinyls. I don't care if you can copy paste the metadata, as long as I can own the NFT it's a badge of patronage. 

Coins don't come close to achieving this.
