Right but where's the "creativity" of the solution that NFTs supposedly bring? Or is it just the same as Patreon (no creativity or uniqueness at all) but just more complex and potential downsides?

I mean for one, a patreon staff member who doesnt like you for some reason cant just ban your nft account. That seems like a pretty good starting point.

Can't OpenSea just ban people and artwork all the same?

you can deploy your own contracts, no-one can stop you.

Right in the same way you can just give cash to someone, no one can stop you.

resale and the secondary sale cut (that goes to the artist) is fundamentally different than patreon. Not to mention the take rate can be arbitrarily low

Wait but it’s about supporting the original artist, no?

no not entirely. Even patreon gives benefits in exchange for payment. It's just very different benefits.

are you really engaging in good faith?
