One tragedy of the contemporary United States is that there are so many young people who feel they are living meaningless lives while they can see there is so much meaningful work that needs to be done. Decaying infrastructure, drug addicts everywhere. These problems can be fixed




Foundation is the most disappointing platform I've ever used in Web3. I joined when they had about 300 followers, and minting my artwork there brought them massive press. From there I gave suggestions that improved the site, and personally onboarded about 20 classic meme creators there, generating $2.8m in sales, handing Foundation about $420,000 in platform fees (15% at the time). Their thanks? The founder told me on a phone call that if you're not actively minting there then they aren't going to showcase you. They stopped talking about my artwork in December 2021, then later used my artwork (this specific artwork was *not* minted on their platforms) in an unauthorized commercial. I since then moved to using custom contracts, to stop being exploited by greedy platform gatekeeper behavior. Now Foundation is dying, and they have the nerve to ask the artists they've milked for years to pay $20/month to pin their own artwork which stays on their contract. I refuse to keep my art on a platform that spent years squandering creator goodwill. To my 1/1 collectors (the 6 or 7 of you, this does not apply to any of my main collections), if you ever have issues viewing your pieces please contact me directly (@PRguitarman ) and I can set up a free burn redeem so your artwork can live on a new custom contract where it belongs. It is a frustrating thing to realize, but on the bright side your owned artwork will be free, no longer muddled in a pile of 111,000 other artworks on a dead contract, controlled by a dead platform that gave up on every artist there.
