Скачать или смотреть Metagov Seminar - Subvert: A collectively owned Bandcamp successor (Robey)

Subvert (https://subvert.fm/) is a cooperative working to build an online marketplace where artists and labels can sell music and merchandise directly to their supporters. We're creating a Bandcamp successor that is owned and controlled by its community of artists, labels, supporters, and workers. The platform we are building aims to transform the relationship between creators and the infrastructure they rely on. By offering genuine ownership and democratic governance to our members, Subvert aligns the interests of the platform with those who use it and contribute to its success.

Austin Robey is a platform governance designer extraordinaire. Before Subvert, he founded Ampled, another platform coop for musicians which informed his experience doing things differently with Subvert. He has also participated in many Platform Cooperativism Consortium Conferences and participated in Start.coop, NEW INC, and Metalabel.

In this discussion, let's learn from Austin's experience building platform co-ops (in web 2 and web 3) and understand what works well when it comes to governance design for online platforms for creative communities. I'm eager to ask Austin questions about what he thinks it will take to put the future of the creative economy back into creators' hands.
