it’s my first NFT drop in a matter of days. and to keep myself busy during the build-up, i’ve been answering the question ‘why web3?’.
2 months ago, i’d have no answer for you. but now, through learning, connecting and talking, i’ve struggled to even put it into one answer; hence, the 3 parts to this series (if you missed it - you can check out part 1 and part 2)
And now, part 3 - creativity ✨
where’s the creativity in being told to post everyday, even multiple times a day, in order to secure your success? where’s the creativity in valuing your self worth on the fact you’ve never been playlisted on spotify? where’s the creativity in feeling like another fish in the sea of the other 100,000 songs being added everyday to DSPs every day?
this is where i see web3 changing things. web3 isn’t about being a content powerhouse. web3 isn’t about shouting out into the void hoping someone will like your post. web3 isn’t about appeasing the algorithms.
instead, it’s about groups of like-minded people that want to support each other and buckle themselves in for the ride. they want to hear your 8-bar loop you started whilst you were hungover. they want to talk to you about your writing processes. they want to see you succeed and be a part of your success.
i’ve already felt my creativity sprout brand new roots and my creative mind finally feel supported thanks to my very fledgling introduction into web3. and most of all, i feel part of a community; something i’ve not had before.
so thanks to Wild Awake, thanks to everyone reading this and everyone who wants to support me on my journey; you’re all ace.
