yes but I don't think coops in the middle solve this either. they become more useful as they get bigger but that gives them more power and they can always eventually abuse that power. or maybe even just do something that only a quarter of the musicians hate. it can't sustain.
instead imo we need less work on competing systems, more work on protocols/APIs, apps and servers. and then a fuckton of advocacy for decentralized fiat.

That obviously is not an exhaustive list of archetypes with their wants and pains.
But, I do think we need an extensive list — that we can check any proposed Fediverse payment system against.

For example —
A parent (archetype) may want to send money to their spouse, or give allowance to their child, etc.
Someone working abroad (archetype) may want to send money back home to their family (i.e., remittance).
An SMB (archetype) may want to accept payment for the sale of a product.
A freelancer (archetype) may want to get paid for their irregular income.
Etc.

To make sure a Fediverse payment system is useful we should think in terms of a set Archetypes and each of their wants and a pains.
(Product people often call "Archetypes": Personas. Marketers often call "Archetypes": Segments.)

"Nowadays, if I want a book or song, there’s a good chance I can buy it online from the person who makes it, with no third party except the payment processor."
We've technically decentralized media production/consumption and the attention machine. Of course we still need to make these systems easier and greatly increase adoption.
But the money people still have us by the balls. That's really why creators aren't here yet.
