@proxystudio
as mentioned prior, and confirmed on a call today - I'm officially joining @retake as an advisor
just to be transparent about this: I think the monetization mechanics of streaming on CT & on FC are broken, and would like to help Retake team redesign them from the ground up. I'm not interested in working on vaporware or building around a vertical that relies on short term hype to drive revenue > supporting creator growth on the platform. the most pressing problem I see in streaming is that no streamer in our industry has been able to scale a meaningful audience.
tackling that as the core goal is challenging enough to be interesting. if creators are not sustaining audiences and routinely producing engaging content, creating internet markets around those streamers will be essentially a wash, a miss, an L. no one will care. making people care, or helping creators find an audience & distribute their content is a product thing, an economic design problem, and a massive opportunity.
they're going to pay me something for my time, which is really cool because that hasn't happened since people minted proxy studio newsletter subscriptions. For me its also extremely meaningful that the retake guys believe I have the ability to contribute positively to their company, with full knowledge of my recent & more distant past in brypto. I love to work, I want to work, and I owe a debt of real gratitude to the people who want to work with me.
finally, no changes to ongoing development of diyvc (more on next steps there in another post)
cheers m8's
