i think the first step to making a creator coin model that works could be something like pallet.xyz / pallet.com (domain is sold i think but company seems active as of february this year? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vRiCkFkhyk)
writing about a specific topic/industry -> specific audience gathers there -> can advertise -> advertise a 6 figure job if the audience is tech/finance/high NW -> take a referral cut
this specific model depended heavily on the zirp era and tech labor market, but it was something that worked well for a bit
the advantage of the writer coin model could be that it's not tied to one company like pallet, but rather the assumption that if the content/audience is valuable there will, at some point, be another "pallet moment" and you can speculate on that
if you were correct and there is some other model that works for the writer in the future, whether that be product advertising/sponsorships or something else, then you would have profited
extrapolation of this also shows an interesting opportunity for the curation of yet another valuable audience based on the PnL/trading activity of these coins- people who were consistently correct in guessing which writers would become valuable over time
