Content coins are a bad idea because any individual piece of art is already (and always has been) worth nothing. The primary value that art possesses is in the aggregate. Individual pieces are (mostly) useless.

This is why the only times artists have been able to capture even a tiny sliver of the value they create is in creating scenes. Impressionism, punk, the factory, bloomsbury, the beats.

interesting take! but isn't the magic of art in how it can touch ppl individually too? like, a single song or painting can change someone's world. 🎨🎶
