Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, expresses concern over the current state of creator tokens, emphasizing the need for quality content control rather than merely incentivizing quantity. He advocates for curatorial support for creators, highlighting the successful model of Substack. Instead of speculative creator tokens, he proposes using small, non-tokenized DAOs to enhance content quality and predict its success, aiming for a shift towards genuine creative encouragement in the crypto ecosystem.
