Talking Creators

The Cabin DAO // Creator Cabins

The creator economy is going through a transition phase where single-player creators are opting into multi-player games. Similar to Packy M's instant classic, "The Great Online Game", the future of the internet will reward players that opt into multiplayer games. Early iterations of the multiplayer game can be seen with Cabin DAO (decentralize autonomous organization).

Influencers Income

While NFTs and DAOs are all the rage on Twitter, we're still years away from these concepts getting picked up by creators. In a survey of over 2,000 creators, most creators are still generating a majority of their revenue from brand deals.

Instagram Is Eyeing New Creator Tools, An NFT Marketplace & Creator Fund
