Creators

1/ Creators can leverage DAOs as a way to easily and quickly measure the way people want to manage value in a system. The focus is on *managing* value in a system, not on creating, distributing, or owning value per se--that's arguably more token related. DAOs do not, per se, require a token to manage value.

Independent, original thoughts. Onchain interests. Investor, entrepreneur, best-selling author. Cultur3. MetaCartel Ventures DAO. Opinions are my own.

4/ Creators who focus on widely shared means of productions will benefit more than others as well. An obvious example is technology: shared means of production can mean Solidity. It can also mean Python. C++. Even open source code like Unreal Engine (despite its proprietary license terms).

3/ A particular kind of creator might benefit most: creators who create products that others can easily build on. This is one reason why open rather than closed source creations will likely do better in the future.

2/ I suspect creators who launch products quickly and focus on what they do best--*creating* more products--will benefit from seeing DAOs manage value created from products. The focus here is creating DAOs as a mechanism for sustaining products, not DAOs as a mechanism to govern. The latter is a means for the former.

stealth mode in pursuit of an aesthetic eth

Biggest problem imo is managing talent and incentivizing collaboration. Running a DAO requires a skillset most artists don't, and shouldn't need to have. A nouns-esque template for these types of DAOs would go a long way

Agreed--let's hope it was the first iteration of those DAOs first. A lot was happening at the same time. We have better infrastructure now, and a better understanding of what didn't work, which in some ways is helps us know what to do but knowing what not to do (anymore):)

All over this for art daos, which have disappointingly been a failure by and large.
