.@Quora is launching a new subscription model called Quora+ where Quora writers will have the opportunity to earn revenue from their answers to questions.
How it works.

Writers can opt into Quora+ (paywall content) and earn:

1) When writers followers who are Quora+ subscribers view their paywalled content.

2)A referral bonus for new paying subscribers who sign up for Quora+ by clicking through from their paywalled content.
Content platforms are realizing that they need to reward the contributors who make their platforms valuable.

Medium already lets writers earn, but not enough compared to the revenue they generate. Maybe Quora's model will be different, maybe not. Time will tell.

Several Web3 protocols are gaining adoption.

As a result, these protocols are generating revenue based on network usage, a clear sign of growing demand.

Quick Thread of Web3 Revenue 👇🏻
While Web3 protocol revenue grows, it's often driven sporadically, peaking and troughing with the varied network demand.

As Web3 protocol demand increases, these spikes in revenue should flatten over time.
In Q3, Arweave generated more network-usage revenue than other Web3 protocols within the @web3index.

Web3 Q3 Revenue:
@ArweaveTeam - $268K
@filecoin - $133K
@LivepeerOrg - $73K
@graphprotocol - $33K
@akashnet_ - $18K
@helium - $4K

The NFT marketplace landscape is heating up with Coinbase and FTX announcing NFT platforms and trading.

Centralized exchanges in general will have some key advantages and some disadvantages as they seek to become dominant NFT exchange venues.

1/
Competitive advantages for Coinbase / FTX offering NFTs:
1. Custody for normies
2. High-value NFT Custody – Coinbase stores assets, but people can still bid on your NFT
3. Brand & distribution/audience
4. Partnerships – obtain IP rights
Potential Disadvantages:
1. Regulation - many NFTs will resemble securities
2. Asset breadth & speed - Coinbase has to integrate a lot of assets and might take more time to add assets
3. Integrations – more permissionless marketplaces will likely integrate faster over time

Curation is understood to be valuable. It’s the art of providing signal amidst noise.

As platforms experiment with token models, curation serves varied uses depending on the type of network:
• Curation as a Service
• Curation as Advertising
• Curation as Exclusivity/TCRs

1/
Curation as a Service 👩‍💻

In a network like the Graph, curators are responsible for identifying the best subgraphs since there can be multiple subgraphs for one protocol.

The Graph is actively determining the value of curation.

Curation as Advertising 📰

Crypto can use staking or voting as a form of advertising to determine what appears at the top of a page, filtering a recommendation algorithm, or NFTs are displayed in marketplaces.

SupreRare Spaces (storefronts) will be interesting to watch.

Thank god U.S regulators protect U.S investors from investing in @CoinList auctions.

Look at all these unrealized gains they'd be about to tax you on.
Coinlist sales outperform ETH post-Aug 2020.

Granted, some of these have underperformed ETH but still a high percentage of outliers in just 20 assets.

Also simultaneously feel bad for anyone who invested in Coinlist vs ETh from Feb 19-Mar20 and then stopped.
Coinlist outperformance of ETH in chart form for those in disbelief.

The Twitterverse is coming.

Twitter Tips (crypto payments) and NFT integration are the first steps.

Web3 wallet integration will allow for tons of unique applications within Twitter and deepen the potential for avatar/pfp NFTs. 👇🏻

messari.io/article/twitte…
For those who missed the news, Twitter plans to allow NFT owners to connect their Web3 wallets (e.g. MetaMask) to Twitter, in order to verify and showcase NFTs on Twitter

The demo looks 🔥:
Why does Avatar/PFP NFT verification matter?

It increases social value because it enables a user to prove they own a specific NFT.

The status hierarchy will be
Verified NFTs > Bluecheckmark > unverified NFTs

Verification will also force brands to issue NFTs for their users.
