In this episode, we’re speaking with Grace Guan, co-founder of Unlonely, a web3 livestreaming platform, about web2 vs web3 media, inner workings of YouTube algorithms, and how traditional media platforms can stop exploiting creators by getting rid of ads and algorithms in this new iteration of media we’re building in web3.

Grace and her brother, Brian, co-founded Unlonely together and have been doing a phenomenal job of onboarding creators to the platform. Grace shares some stats on their user base and viewership in this episode as well as what she thinks people working on consumer crypto apps need to do differently in order to get more users onto their platforms.

If you’re a creator or anyone working adjacent to web3 media, you won’t want to miss this episode with Grace.

Grace was nominated by Winny and voted onto the podcast by Winny, Triumph, Maz, Andy Boyan, Birb, David Phelps, Lucas, Ernest Kou, and myself, Diana Chen.

To kick off Season 9, we are speaking with P1A, a contemporary artist, educator, and founder based in Istanbul, about all things web3 and art. We reflect on the NFT craze of 2021, and P1A shares why even though the hype has died down, NFTs are in fact not dead and on the contrary, art NFTs have a long way to grow and develop.

We also talk about the work she’s doing at her studio in Istanbul called Yazane, where she’s helping educate other local artists about web3 and the impact that blockchain can have on their careers as artists. She not only uses the space as a gathering place and educational center but also as a gallery for local artists to be able to exhibit their works without paying the exorbitant fees they would to traditional galleries.

P1A was nominated by David Phelps and voted onto the podcast by David Phelps, Richie Bonilla, Forage, and Triumph.
