> "Content" is not just Beyonce's new song or the highlight real of yesterday's playoff game. Content is the two lines of code that an engineer somewhere just added to an open-source project. That Slack message your colleague sent you this morning is also content. And of course, the newsletter you sent to your 72 subscribers last week is also content, even if you're not a celebrity.

> Most humans are either overpaid or underpaid for their work. (...) 72% of all contributors [of the Android Open Source Project] made less than twenty commits and nearly 50% of them made less than three. (...) Of course, the quantity of code someone contributes does not mean the code was critical or particularly valuable. (...) But over time, it becomes clear which lines (and whole code libraries) are reused in multiple projects and survive multiple revisions.

> With NFTs and smart contracts, it is now possible to integrate all of the above with a proper compensation mechanism. (...) And if every person gets paid for their contribution, those who are particularly productive or innovative will get paid more than ever. And those who aren't will no longer have a stable salary.
