I am pretty sure if I got back into active curation
I dunno
they don't like that
they don't like this
ok my friend
give me a break
but then artists will be more scared to submit?
to give a negative vote
somehow has to dare
AB gone
Foundation closed
Opensea: chasing fungibles
SR: somehow also chasing fungibles
Magic Eden: gone
Blur: basically gone
where else are these great artists choosing to mint?
we are approximately 100% of the NFT space right now
i mean
ngl its not easy, i tired for sometimes, got tired, might try again
look passive voice does not help
i would rather any good art vs any art trying to be a meme
we have 400 artists around here
and we will push it
mint something great
and tell them
is it that hard to find 5 artists
whose fault is that?
well ok
but right now it feel we get more of the latter
a very smart person must have written that
you see!
“But it is ok nobody is perfect, you are allowed to be wrong”
but the real answer there is not not vote for them
is when people make crappy lazy memes
the part that people don't like
and great art will always get minted
the best memes are correctly memetic
look all of this on the art side is a skill issue
network museum, science, art, etc
so we might need categories that are not just art categories
bc we need to push for more of the ambitious not just a jpg stuff
we need to rethink the concept
and so on
so "gm" is less interesting than "research"
is supposed to be real world stuff
because this year's push
we need to rethink them
oh, interesting, i thought basically we are all freestyle now
we don't have themes any more do we?
And that’s fine, but as you said, things have evolved. is it still necessary?
the memes are all free to do whatever they want
there is no such thing right?
for the last year though
not just appropriate, necessary
in the beginning it was necessary
See you are putting words and subtext into my question. I think it’s fair to ask if the a network meme theme should be from a private collection
i pulled back these things
and as things changed as the memes got stronger
i was leaching value from the xcopy into the memes and from xcopy himself who agreed to anchor the first season
so truly the idea that I was using the memes to add value to one of the best xcopys is really comical
were like "would you like free money by minting here" and they were like 'no"
