Been thinking about this tweet and wanted to break my thoughts down a bit more. twitter.com/BlackDave/status/1495435202503618570
Iโm, at the very least, thankful this ainโt considered a hot take.
I think for a long time folks were conflating curation with gatekeeping โ which is possible โ but these are different things. I think that fundamental understand was really key to opening the doors for a โblog eraโ of web3 music.
I firmly believe that one of the next frontiers in web3 is that personal blogs will start to flourish. I donโt know if itโs going to be via microblogging, like tumblr or if itโs going to be long form, like blogger โ but I think we will be showing our tastes through blogs soon.
Please make it a wallet login and please add following and a dashboard. Mirror is stressing me out not having these features. It needs to be somewhat social, in my opinion.
Creating culture, especially through music, is paramount to the growth of web3 โ but equally important is proper documentation, deconstruction & critique of these things. I love that @HYPEBEAST & @highsnobiety cover NFTs but their community isnโt โweb3 native.โ
I think atop platforms that report on things, weโll need critics of these things. Folks who review music, who wrote probably obnoxious thinkpieces about web3 music focused topics.
I was just thinking to myself โdoes there really need to be a different platform to write about web3 musicโ but I think the standards, values and perceptions โ at least for now โ are very different, even if itโs the same artists on both sides.
Would love to see a web3 @DJBooth โ would love a web3 @theneedledrop or whoever your reviewer of choice is โ would love a web3 @nardwuarโฆjust music focused.
Marketplaces are important to growing the ecosystem, making acquiring music NFTs easier, but itโs really hard to find content thatโs deeper than surface level about music NFTs.
โฆmaybe Iโm in too deep and I should continue to let basic information proliferate as we grow and not allow for something too in depth quite yetโฆ
โฆmaybe weโre too early altogether for in depth platforms. I think not, considering how much money is already moving around.
Just focused on building culture in this web3 world. Iโm finished with this visionary stream of consciousness (as Kanye calls it). Thanks for reading this far if you made it. As always Iโm open to all conversation around this. โ๏ธ
Also as always, I donโt really proofread like that so forgive all typos haha
