Episode notes
Choose Quality Over Volume
- Avoid adding to the information pollution; prefer to publish accurate, thoughtful content even if it grows slower.
- Aim for quality over volume to serve a smaller audience well rather than chasing platform virality.
Security Enables Ethical Creativity
- Cushion (financial or institutional) lets creators resist predatory market pressures and make better work.
- Tight survival pressures push people toward clicky, low-integrity tactics to survive.
NFTs Feed Speculation, Not Appreciation
- NFTs create artificial digital scarcity that primarily fuels speculative flipping, not genuine art appreciation.
- Many buyers seem motivated by quick resale gains rather than lasting enjoyment of the work.
