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.
