Encouraging content creators to follow the law and ethics means that they will use their grants to be part of the “solution,” as opposed to the “problem.” We want to create an ecosystem where lengthy and expensive privacy and IP-related suits are no longer necessary because the projects have attended to these issues in advance.

In the technology and music spaces, Women, Black, Brown, Asian, Indigenous, and LGBTQ communities have been underrepresented and under-served with far less access to equal resources and salaries than their white male cis counterparts. We want to give our community the opportunity to use cutting edge resources and technology to further advance their careers and artist profiles. In addition, we want to see our community receive the financial dues they deserve.

Specifically, for self-employed creators and those engaging in voluntary ‘digital civic labour’ (e.g. forum moderators). Through conversation with them, we can understand how a future rollout of the Interledger Protocol and Web Monetization API could reflect the needs of those who stand to gain the most from these.

Attention-based podcast monetization is being explored within the tech community but no solution has been widely adopted. Most podcasts are monetized through advertising or subscriptions through platforms like Apple and Spotify which help producers earn revenue while also taking their own cut, tying listener’s consumption to their proprietary platform. What is needed is another option for podcast monetization that is as open and standards-based as podcasting itself and that connects support from listeners to the productions themselves.
