ZORBS by ZORA

How does Zora people feel about

People who pose as artists and just download -> coin whatever art they find on the internet (often Pinterest)?

Does the average user here care?

I feel the same. I am all for crediting and sharing people's works but doing the same on Zora is different because you are directly making money off of it, not to mention most people do not care, bother, care about the artist of the art piece they are stealing. "𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘵."

I definitely agree with your second part, sometimes I check Jacob's blog posts, or browse through his are.na and think this guy is great. But though he often speaks grandiose and talks about artists a lot, Jacob probably is a money guy as well.

Spoke with @guruguruhyena a little bit on the topic and, it seems like her efforts on reporting and trying to rid the platform of this behavior was not appreciated much by the Zora's devs/support.

Makes me wonder though, does the average person even care?

The problem I think is that ever since Steve Jobs, anyone who gets a mediocre idea in their head immediately proclaims themselves a misunderstood genius.

The tendency of these people is to make people think they know better by saying, “The liquid element stirs in convulsive fervor, releasing air spirits in its ascendant thermal swoon.” when in the end they are talking about hot water boiling.

Jacob's lexicon is that of someone who believes he has a more alert, forward-looking and sophisticated eye on every aspect of the world, but the most innovative thing he has managed to do is provide a platform for monetizable attention recycling of stolen content. So no wonder he is a money guy if he has money on his mind despite his “gift.”

I get sick when I see these things. Especially when they are in trand and overshadow the original productions. The people who make money with Zora in this way then are the people who say that they make money with Zora and that's why it's a must for other lay people to join the caravan.

Moreover, there is no way to expose, report and effectively take down all this stolen content. This leaves me with the sole belief that it suits Mr. Jacob so for his monetization platform of interest (mostly illicit in this case, but who cares, no?).
