Paragraph
Where writers share, grow, and get paid — one post at a time.
@colin
We just shipped writer coins on Paragraph: a new way to support writers & share in the upside.
Paid subscriptions have shortcomings: there's no benefit for being early & it's hard to show off your support. You can read & subscribe but you're not truly along for the journey.
Writer coins provide a more compelling alternative: by backing a writer across all of their work, you can signal you were an early supporter & share in the momentum you helped create.
Plus, when you launch a writer coin, you can reward those who supported you:
- past collectors on Paragraph/Mirror
- followers on FC or Base app
- holders of your Zora/Base app creator coins
- & more

I feel @paragraph could be amazing if the UX wasn’t cucked by privy.
Also, yes it’s Pre-MF, Yes ERC-20s are more accessible, but they don’t quite hit the same as an artistic NFT collectible tied to an article.
I need the buttery smooth user flow that substack gives with an NFTs and customizable collectible, not ERC-20.
If @reidtandy or @colin put a focus into the artistic aspect and not the financialization aspect copying zora which was copying instagram copying pump.fun because the rationale said there was more money there.
Statistics have biases.
That bias exists because the NFT art beauty fest was eaten alive by capitalistism in less than a year or two.
Those two things eat at each other.
Paragraph’s favorite feature of mine was a HIDDEN ONE, where you could change the thumbnail for the collectible.
Not sure if it’s gone now.
But we’ve never leaned into that bc your excel sheet brains can’t calculate the real value from that.
I could complain about a lot but I’d rather just be concise and say how much I really loved having my own art there.

Friday thoughts.
Scenius, Thinkability, and the First Non-Enclosable Scene
Core thesis: Scenius is not creative clustering, cultural density, or output volume. It is the collective capacity to expand what is thinkable. The paradigm-shifting function matters more than the work produced inside it. Artifacts are downstream. Thinkability is the engine.

The creator economy is yet another industry completely reshaped by Web3 👩🎨 You don't believe me? Hear me out, I speak from experience.
I launched The Web3 + AI Newsletter over two years ago, and since then, I've tried out various publishing schedules, monetization methods, and newsletter and social media platforms.
Something was always missing - either the exposure and community-building features were seriously lacking, or the subscription methods didn't fit my objectives, or the UX with donation operators left a lot to be desired.
Only after migrating my publication to the Web3 platform @paragraph, do I feel like I'm on the right path. It guarantees me:
💡 Full editorial autonomy and independence
📃 Secure archiving by recording every single post on the Arweave permissionless database
💸 Fair monetization system where I earn together with my readers 👇

Paragraph team should consider pivoting backwards so we can use the platform with our own domain fully as previously intended.
The current side navigation just creates pathways for users to click and then churn because they are confused on how they went from a solid domain name (mentalwealthacademy.net) to a "medium-type-of-thing".
Basically churning and leaking our leads into a "what is this?" ending.

@bfg
Is it just me or does loading for @paragraph articles feel slow?
i.e. for reading an article in one's publication on the web (not in mini-app)
