And why would users just pay artists on their websites, what do they get in return? NFTs is a novel mechanism because of its guaranteed uniqueness and scarcity, and for music represents ownership endowed by the creator. The user is getting something scarce and perceivably valuable to collect in return.

And reading your following writing, it's clear to me that you don't know what the value prop of NFTs are. People buy them to collect, not to "listen". Purchasers are expected to do both, but enjoying/consuming and collecting/owning are separate things. Buying off iTunes and streaming have never been true ownership, they were digital licenses with infinite copies and revokable. NFTs on open blockchains allows ownership transfer like never before on the Internet

That’s more fair. But as a dev, I see Cardano’s problem with slow dApps coming to deployment being that it's not just another EVM compat chain with little to add other than me too, I'm faster and cheaper than ETH.

Cardano is using an entirely different accounting model using eUXTO. It’s harder to wrap heads around as a programming model, but I believe in time it’ll prove to be much much more scalable. And verifiable with better transactional ordering and safety (from bugs and hacks) guarantees.

Regardless, I have some SOL, more ADA, and even more ETH. I'm not a maxi in any camp

Oh wow, you counted the stars. Have you also counted how many unresolved issues/PRs there are in each repos? Hint: more is not better. Unlike stars. ⭐️

Interesting. But by working closely with frontend devs, which should happen regardless, means Framer can also replace Storybook https://storybook.js.org/

Because we can't?

Which begs the question from Apple: Where are the APIs after all these years, to build on Siri/Voice as a platform? Where's my Voice App Store?

What's the point of such multiple BFF, 1 for each client, when a (federated) Graphql layer would do the same and also serves as many FEs as wanted?
