The era of relying on intermediaries for creator monetization is ending. What's rising instead is a more direct relationship between creators and their audiences—where authentic content and genuine partnerships become the real currency.
This shift matters. Creators no longer need to depend on platforms that take substantial cuts or impose restrictive content rules. With Web3 tools and decentralized networks, they can build sustainable income streams through direct fan support, tokenized incentives, and transparent collaboration models.
Honest work gets rewarded directly. That's the future worth building.

Honestly, I've heard this explanation too many times. How many creators can truly escape the platform's bloodsucking?

Well said, but what about reality? Most creators are still tightly bound by the platform.

Isn't this just idealism? The phenomenon of platforms harvesting retail investors can't really change in the short term.

To be honest, this theory sounds great, but how many creators can truly support themselves directly through their fans?

No matter how good Web3 sounds, it still depends on implementation. Currently, 99% of creators still rely on platforms to make a living.
