@johnplumstead Looks like you started on Twitter in 2009.

I wonder what your podcast audience would look like in 12 years if you keep at it?

@MattGiovanisci Wait, are you defending YT here? Haha.

$53,840.47
- your time
- your expertise
- your equipment
- your studio space
- your productions costs

Not super great; even for a solopreneur.

YT is not a benevolent benefactor!

@JareerSamad That facet is exaggerated too.

Creators have always had to do arbitrage on bigger platforms; that's the whole promise of the internet (more reach/leverage for the average person).

YT can't just take credit for $20.5B in GDB. It's way more nuanced than that.

I'd say @JimmyTriesWorld is one of the lucky YouTube creators at the 100k subscriber mark.

Depending on the algorithm, and the content of your channel, creators can earn far far less.

Those 38,000 creators that YouTube is trumpeting? Many are struggling financially.

Replying to @mijustin
If "100k subs" = "middle class" in YouTube's creator economy, they are being woefully underpaid.

Many of these creators are dedicating FT hours, and are essentially running full-production media companies.

They also have to pay for contractors, music licensing, equipment, etc.

@sambreed I watched that with my boys a month ago!

Surprisingly better than I remembered.

@bnchrch Trying to parse this. (Be patient with me, I'm 👴)

When you say "right click + save" are you referring to NFTs and the ability to save JPEGS?

And when you say "social clubs aren't the golf club you go to, but the discord your'e in" are you referring to NFT discors?

@Shpigford Yup! Clicked through a bunch in each collection.

Performance was a big slow / laggy after each click.

@mickythompson chatted with your brother today on the @TransistorFM live chat.

What a small world!

Nice to be reminded of our epic Las Vegas escape room adventure. 😄

Replying to @JackEllis
@JackEllis There’s a few significant differences, the largest being our current legal concept of ownership.

Owning a comic book (and transferring ownership of a comic book) is already governed by law.

NFTs are like me printing out a “certificate of ownership” for a comic you don’t own.

Replying to @aarondfrancis
@aarondfrancis @fideloper One tricky piece: you’d almost need to hire someone who’s in a similar financial position as you.

For example: it *feels* like hiring someone who made significantly less money than you wouldn’t work.

@cdixon What does “beat out” mean exactly?

Are we sure that RSS doesn’t still (to this day) create more value than Twitter?

How can we assess “value” empirically here?

@nbashaw I initially read that as "Post Pandemic" which is also a great name. 🔥

Replying to @firstadopter
@firstadopter I think “good ideas” are hard to come by.

The idea of paying to “unlock tweets” seems DOA to me.

Folks are just in a different mind-space here than they are on Patreon.

There’s not a strong “pull” for someone to want to see what’s behind the curtain of an exclusive tweet.
