I am on the Interledger Community Call today.

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.

"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.

When systems work together, money moves more freely.
From M-Pesa to UPI, interoperable payments are making money more connected and accessible.
In this blog, Casey Ariel Dike explores what’s possible when systems “talk” to each other.

imo they want to be Google of social media, where they are basically built on the open web and you can use alternatives but a huge percentage of people don't. they do a good enough job that people choose convenience over independence. even though Cory says Google is maybe the best example of enshittification.
we desperately need an open protocol for fiat transfer though. that's the one advantage closed systems still have. #interledger #GNUtaler

we should be able to transfer money directly from a fan's bank to a creator's bank as easily as sending an email or tagging somebody on fedi. no middleman, no crypto. we should be able to decide what we can give per month, track what we consume and automatically divide up and distribute those funds.

you should live stream video w/o any middleman using #owncast. make video shows available via #peertube. articles via #ghost. and podcasts of course. that's decentralized media keeping us free from corporate control.
and fedi (which you're on here, thank you) allowing the public to collectively decide what ideas and perspectives deserve attention. again without corporate influence.
the last piece is direct funding via a protocol. #interledger and #GNUtaler are working on that.
