Hello :) First of all, thank you for subscribing to this newsletter. I’m excited about finding alternate ways of communicating, talking about my work, etc. outside of the traditional social media structures we have all had to lean so heavily on. This week, I’m premiering a new episode of my ongoing series “Keeping Tabs with Molly Soda” (just Keeping Tabs for short ;)). For this episode I had very special guest and friend
Thank you for this! 100% feel you on NFT scarcity and ecological impact, it seems like most people involved choose to disregard that completely. The fact that the art I've seen go for something like $100,000 (in bitcoin) tends to be...not good is probably beside the fact, but most likely due to participating artists being friends with the people behind the concept (like it seems to be the case with @SuperRare on twit) I believe there's an element of gatekeeping similar to the traditiona art space. Its nice to read your thoughts!
Just saw a headline that musicians are also getting into the NFT game. I have no idea how that would actually work, but apparently its working for Lil Yatchy and deadmaus5.
The prophetic instinct of apologizing for accusations before they're even made is def key to existing online. Thank you for so neatly summarizing it! Especially in a non-anonymous age — I worry whether that constant capitulation has affected me growing up and whether it'll be still worse for Gen Z. Stating a preference or dying on hills feels like a charmingly outdated concept, but I don't see how that can change.
