I want to be clear that I’m not upset about making or not making money-I’m grateful people engaged at all.

UPDATE: just to be clear I have no paid partnership with @baseapp so here’s my honest take: Yes, I “made” $65 yesterday from posting my video. But I didn’t get paid like a creator- I cashed out the token At its peak, my wallet balance was around $185… but people started dumping, and I was only able to grab $65 before the pool drained. So how is that supporting me? They weren’t tipping me. They were flipping a coin with my name on it. (I realize I got micro payments from transaction fees but it was minimal) And I had to dump on them to get paid. 😬 Also unless I’m totally misunderstanding this - every new post mints a new coin. >>>>Which means if I want to earn again, I have to do the same thing again… Dump that coin. >Then the next one. >Then the next. So now I’m sitting here wondering: >Am I launching a new micro shitcoin every time I post? >Am I supposed to manage each of those little markets? Because that doesn’t sound like creator monetization. That sounds like an stress-inducing token treadmill. @jessepollak is that how this is meant to work?
My concern is more about the structure this creates: If each post mints a coin, and my “earning” depends on people continuing to trade it, that feels less like creator income and more like managing a mini-market each time I post.
It’s not that I don’t want to hold, I’d love to but I also don’t want to ask people to buy something if the only way I ever earn is by eventually selling it.
I really want this model to work. Just trying to understand how this scales for creators without turning us into accidental meme coin operators.
