a bear thesis for creator coins is that crypto as a subculture and/or cb/zora as platforms have not done nearly enough to educate normie creators on why they should do one in a way that does not feel extractive or scammy. some questions that one might answer: - what do you do with your coin once created? - how do you safely exit without burning your audience (e.g. LPing) - how are they not extractive? how do you sell that to your audience? - what are examples of creators that have done this well? the decision to launch one is the function of one person asking themselves "are the vibes right" before they hit that button. and sans the above, my guess is that the vast majority of good creators will say no.

Have you explored the design space of the curator feeds ($pro) instead of direct creator coins? In this paradigm, creators continue to make content but a new market participate is formed (curator) that signals value that consumers can invest in that's addictive towards the creators

no that to me feels too complicated. sounds like a ponzi scheme to anyone outside of crypto. also no shade to $pro but I strongly reject the idea of having feeds inside a mini app. mini apps IMO should be singular destinations where one thing happens, not pseudo-clients.

Strong agree how it sounds like a ponzi from afar Personally, it's more like having friends you trust make great playlists or recommendations that broaden my taste beyond an algo that I'm bored w Appreciate your honest view
