Price changes are easily more than 10%, often on a daily basis.

Not many authors can control that.

I was laughed at when I suggested that putting 'quality' content on the chain increased its value, in a certain discord.
And, just recently, I've been stopped from serializing arcane books, for profit.
As if curating good works has no value.

If we are trying to grow our network other things may take priority over fattening an already well funded part of the ecosystem.
One of those being the authors that sacrificed when 'asked'.
Another could be incentives to liquidity pools.
Or HBD stabiliztion.

Decentralize the decentralizing, iyam.
The faster the coin spreads farther the better.
