Evolving Creator Monetization and the Crypto Landscape

This week, Avery and Sam dissect three major cultural shifts happening: Web3 going mainstream, creator influence reaching new heights and the increasing financialization of culture.

In this episode, hosts Avery and Sam discuss the McDonald's x Doodles partnership and what it signals for Web3 brand collaborations. They also explore the growing power of creators and influencers, using Jake Paul's recent Netflix boxing match as a recent case study and finally, they dive into crypto's latest bull run and why everyone from 12-year-olds to art collectors are trying to cash in on the culture market.
