That Can't Be Right

WTF is the Creator Economy? with Greg Narain


Listen Later

A sexy, new phrase in tech is "Creator Economy". But what does it mean? Who does it include and exclude? What does it promise? What are we creators owed? And is it primed to go the way of the sharing economy? (2021 Uber prices ain't nothing nice, but I can't tell if it's improving outcomes for drivers, who are not employers).

Two articles came out shortly before we recorded that really got me thinking about the ecosystem:

https://ez.substack.com/p/most-creator-economy-companies-just 

Is it really the great equalizer and opportunity that these companies have sold?

So Greg Narain, co-founder of Zealous and co-host of the Created Economy show, talked me through his perception of the articles and the landscape, the problems, the opportunities, and where his own company fits in.
