Preliminary User Research: Platform Cooperatives
The Context: There is a gap between Etsy and Artsy. The majority of money from artwork sales is not going to artists, but to the owners of these big sites.
The Challenge: All that annual revenue could be shared between the artists in the modern version of a worker cooperative. The modern version of an artist coop uses blockchain technology and self-governance tokens to evenly distribute revenue based on work put in.
