These features all share the same goal: to help creators make a living. 💰 [4/6]
Blockchain has a role in this because it can enable entirely new business models for creators that give them more control over their work and audiences, and how they monetize. But for this tech to truly boost economic opportunity for creators, it needs to be easier to use. [5/6]
