I wish we could find a way to benefit the most people, but after thinking about this I feel a bit dumb for going to the lengths I did to create public projects.
The amount of work and drama was not worth it.
If I had kept Hearth Heater, Pure Influence, and Career Mentor to myself I’d be turning a pretty nice profit right now and would likely have all the rare NFTs I want.
I feel very little incentive to continue with public projects at this point. I’m contributing almost fully formed concepts from the get. Its unfair for others to contribute so little and then buy multiple copies and resell for $1,000s. In addition there is constant theft of ideas, and of course the link sharing.
So in light of this I’ll just invite people I can ensure will be trustworthy and go from there.
I can’t help but feel this is a loss for the community though. If the above 3 NFTs were private not only would the concept be unable to be made again, they’d have prices equivalent to The Skull or others. To me these concepts were very basic to life and only fitting to be released to a wide audience.
At the end of the day, how we act is entirely our choice and I refuse to go on dealing with the drama of big groups unless someone can incentivize me to do so.
I’m not even talking about money either. Its a bit ridiculous that people are unable to simply format a public board with their ideas. Like c’mon guys…
