While experimentation and exploration is so important in crypto, I have trouble understanding why Zora would continue to deprecate popular old features. As an artist I loved having control over editions and price. The 1/1/x series mint pages. I loved the openness of the original zora auctionhouse. On the other hand I never find myself thinking "an erc-20 is the right solution for art" despite trying it a few times for the sake of experimentation. I know many artists feel that the platform doesnt prioritize their concerns or platform needs. So my questions: - Why remove popular old features? Why not just add to the list? - Will zora source and documentation for older versions remain available? - If artists and collectors arent actually the target audience, who is?

Each of those versions—which I also loved and believed were the final form—ultimately reached very clear plateaus of growth and were going to die or outright died. This is the trade off: Option 1. be stable with a product that is dying or dead, eventually not being stable due to not existing. Option 2. iterate based on those learnings so you don't die and can continue to solve the problem in a better way. There's a lot of well intentioned products that still do what we offered, and none of them have seen sustainable growth (and id say will likely die without adapting).
