coins

try to argue against content coins from first principles.

if a video on tiktok has millions of views, it has value.

why should a single platform control that value?
why shouldn't that value be explicit?
why shouldn't the creator benefit from that value?

seems good to me.

one pushback here could be that the millions of tiktok views has value because  it means more people get to see the ads that are attached to it; the ad model is how tik tok monetizes 


> today; 100% of that money goes to the platform; instead, more should go to BOTH the user who saw the ad and the content creator.

lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

Value is not objective. It's what you get out of something. TikTok gets an amount of ad $$$ out of a video, so the video's value to TikTok is $$$. I watch it and feel something, so the value to me is this feeling or thought I had for X seconds. The value to society is that the video was watched 10M times and changed how 10M people felt for X hours.

So, which value are we interested in capturing? Can we be as good as TikTok in doing so, or even close enough?
