In this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, Luke, Ash, and Tom take a culture-first approach to the creator economy, starting with a nostalgic dive into Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, Care Bears, and Voltron. What begins as a playful conversation about childhood media quickly becomes a lens for understanding fandom, incentives, and why people engage with content in the first place, drawing clear parallels to today’s Web3 and social platforms.

The discussion then turns to creator coins, tipping mechanics, and onchain social networks, with the hosts questioning whether these models genuinely support creators or simply add unnecessary complexity. Drawing on past Web3 experiments and real-world examples, they explore the tradeoffs between universal currencies and creator-specific tokens, the limits of tipping culture, and what sustainable creator monetization in crypto might actually look like.
