According to the laws of aerodynamics a bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly, but no one told it, so it does. This oft-repeated fact is, well, absolutely incorrect, but serves as a nice metapho…

NGL, @hunterwalk makes a pretty good case here.

The Only Thing Which Has Failed About The ‘Creator Economy’ Thus Far Is Venture Capital’s Attempts to Get Their Piece. Why There’s Never Been a Better Time to Be a Creator.

I judge the health of the creator economy by one single controversial factor: ease of access and probability of survival for its participants. That is, if you are someone who wishes to earn a minim…

While the “creator economy” trend among VCs may have fizzled I agree with @hunterwalk
that its never been a better time to become a creator making a living online.

The actual problem with creator economy startups is that there really isn’t a multi-billion dollar opportunity trying to get a cut if the revenue a video creator gets from YouTube or a podcaster gets from Patreon.

Not every business model is a VC scale opportunity.
