This tweet is a billboard for why we created @meleemarkets.

Fundamentally I do not believe in forcing creators to make tokens to monetize their audience. 

No normal creators want to be forced to pump and dump on their audience for monetization. 

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills some times.

This seems so incredibly obvious. 

Yet people spend hours on spaces glazing creator capital markets because what, you own some of the coin? 

If anything it just shows how in incredibly out of touch web3 has become with actual consumers.

It’s the same gaslighting that led to the NFT bubble. If we don’t create better systems we are fated to repeat the same results.

At Melee we see it as our mission to fundamentally change the game for the better. 

Enough is enough.
