V4V is a coping mechanism for a lack of an algorithm.

The algorithm created the Attention Economy. In the AE, “likes” actually help artists a lot. Attention begets more attention which translates to 🤑 on the back end.

With V4V, marketing and revenue are separate. With the AE, they’re combined in a flywheel. It’s simplified in a way that the average person finds convenient.

V4V does not have the same compounding / exponential power and thus sucks in comparison.
