I’ve never worked for Sorare...but I’ve also never actively tried to.That’s not an accident.In this live stream, I’m explaining why I continue to create content about Web3 platforms, including Sorare, instead of trying to work for them.We’ll talk about:• Why independence matters when covering evolving Web3 games• The difference between being a creator, a partner, and an employee• How incentives change when you work inside a platform• Why I believe creators add more value staying external• What this means for trust, criticism, and long-term sustainabilityThis isn’t a criticism of Sorare or any other platform, it’s about how I think creators can best serve their audience in Web3.If you create content, or consume a lot of it, this conversation applies far beyond Sorare.Support the content by becoming a member of the Laird Social Club or the Sorare with Laird channel: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

Sorare Set is here, and a lot of managers are diving in.I’m not...and in this stream, I explain why.This isn’t a rant and it’s not a verdict on Set as a product. It’s a personal decision based on time, incentives, priorities, and how I currently play Sorare. I’ll walk through what Set does well, what questions I still have, and why—at least for now—I’m choosing to sit this one out.If you’re deciding whether Sets fits into your Sorare routine, this should help you think through that choice more clearly.As always, I’m interested in hearing how others are approaching it—whether you’re all-in, cautiously experimenting, or also taking a pass.🤝 Join the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

Sorare today is nothing like the game many of us originally signed up for. The economy has changed, the gameplay has evolved, and a lot of OG managers are no longer around.So why are we still here?In this episode of SorareAndrews, we talk honestly about what’s changed, what’s been lost, and what—if anything—still keeps us logging in, setting lineups, and caring. Is it habit? Community? Hope? Or is there still something genuinely compelling about Sorare in 2026?🤝 Become a member of the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

Sorare appears to be in a quieter stretch of the season, and for many managers that can lead to something more impactful than losses: boredom.With limited opportunities to enter new competitions due to low card supply, uncertainty around what’s coming next for the World Cup, and the idea of resetting strategies in January or February feeling less appealing than usual, engagement can naturally dip.In today’s live stream, we’ll discuss:• Why this phase can feel stagnant even if the game itself hasn’t fundamentally changed• How boredom affects decision-making, motivation, and long-term planning• Whether these quieter periods are a normal part of Sorare’s cycle• And if this moment encourages managers to look at other games alongside SorareThis isn’t about criticizing the platform, it’s about recognizing the risks of disengagement and thinking through how managers can navigate this stretch productively.Join the live discussion and share how you’re approaching Sorare right now.🤝 Become a Laird Social Club member: https://patreon.com/andrewmlairdStart playing Sport.Fun: https://pro.sport.fun/login/?referral_code=UITMX28FXU9Begin your MFL journey: https://app.playmfl.com/?referrer=F2047C

The launch of Sorare Set has reopened a question some Sorare managers are quietly asking:What if Sorare was only free-to-play?For established Sorare Pro managers, Set feels like an addition. But if we were brand new to Sorare today, would Set be enough? Would we ever feel the need to move beyond free-to-play?In this episode of SorareAndrews, we discuss:• Whether Set actually lowers the barrier to entry or creates a parallel game• How progression, rewards, and motivation differ between Set and Pro• If free-to-play can deliver long-term engagement without ownership• Whether Sorare needs paid competition to remain compellingSupport the content by becoming a member of the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird
