#32The _Future_ of the Internet, a post-scarce good, is not going to be a Profit Model Powered by The Extraction Economy.
It needs a fundamentally different economic model, that measures the gain in value added to the network, not the transaction (rebalance, distribution, etc.) of it: http://free.eco .

#33TLDR: Sell what your customers want to buy.
But let's call the customers fans and rebrand the whole thing not as Capitalism but as "Passion Economy", which sounds a lot more noble than "overcharging random strangers on the internet".
I'm also surprised that "whales" went from a mean joke to mock those with more money than friends into an actual description that they use as a positive term here.

#36This thesis seems like 1000 True Fans hired patio11.
I was wondering if it was written by patio11. It’s just like his writing style.

#37Guys what if...
You had 200 fans each paying 500 a year?
Amazing right? 500 is less than 1000 and 200 isn’t that much more than 100.
Feel free to take down the OP and put this comment up instead

#39IIRC the 1k true fans idea was walked back by its original author after they got feedback from industry folks describing how the model was basically impossible to implement in the real world. This holds 100% true to my experience in influencer marketing and esports. Monetizing fans is really hard on passion alone. You need to create valuable calls to action and continuously produce content in order to maintain their…
I don't think Ninja is a particularly good example because (1) he is operating at a scale where the normal rules don't apply (2) his rise was equally fast and volatile (3) twitch requires a constant presence more than other content platforms. Furthermore I read your take, and maybe I'm wrong, as a 1k "fans" and not 1k "true fans" The "true fans" model is a subset within the larger audience demographic -- they don't c…
True fans or true Scotsmen? ;-)

#40Here is a model for the author:
give money to things not to people, people should have enough to live. Food, safe place to stay etc.
i dont want to pay for people to become rich just necause he/she produced a thing I enjoyed.. I dont have to be responsible for artists, creaters being alive, safe etc. I am just a person expects same comfort as creater... creater might have a chance to accomplish his/her passion position in life but most of us should/must do the ugly things... that doesnt mean that people create something are always good at what they do... actually they are not most of the time...
prize tag is for goods not for people...
