 For business-minded creators, NFT memberships can replace and complement traditional subscription and ad-based revenue models in several ways:- Creators can earn more from NFTs by segmenting fan willingness to pay. - Creators can earn more from NFTs by reducing middleman fees. - Creators can meaningfully acknowledge early fandom.
