the future of content

after writing and contemplating the artist corporation ted talk by Yancey Strickler

i rememebered watching this talk given at SXSW by

jack conte

super interesting concepts where he dives into the future of

web 3.0

the death of the follower

and paying creators directly through companies like his company”Patreon”

and how his intention through the company is to solve a host of issues that are self generated by the public platforms and algorithms .

this idea seems to be the on the same ideological framework of yancey’s ted talk about the artist corporation, but jack it tackling the problem of creators turning their followings into strong communities that fund the production of the content through the digital market place of patreon

while yancey is more focused on the legal infastructure to protect the rights of creatives

both seem important and build on each other

in my opinion…

just some thoughts

as always
