Assuming you’re actually serious about receiving feedback… Creator coins could be a good idea, but the execution has made anyone who would try it feel like Coinbase doesn’t actually care about them. The mechanism itself could have been used to help creators reliably accrue value for things they sell (art, merch, NFTs, etc) over the long term. Instead the mechanism has been geared towards maximizing transactions and short-term pumps; great for Base marketing and metrics but not useful for creators. The technology could have been integrated with multiple platforms, allowing creators to use it wherever they are currently active. Instead, it’s been Zora/Base only; again great for Coinbase mafia but not for builders in the space. It’s not just creator coins, it’s the Base app itself. I’m sure you’re all congratulating yourselves on the metrics but anyone using the app can see it’s not built for them, it’s built for you. You can see the intent of the team in the product they produce. In creator coins I see insiders straining for relevance instead of genuine desire to help creators. This is genuine feedback, there’s no hate in it. It’s my perspective as a Farcaster user, crypto builder, and technology enthusiast.
