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.

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.

5/ Unreal Engine ("Unreal") is interesting. Since March 22 2023, Unreal for Fortnite (UEFN) has distributed >US $120 Million to creators. That's great, but without DAOs and onchain orgs, creators' projects remain smaller than they would if managed by a larger collective--e.g. collectives structured as DAOs.

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.
