According to @jessepollak, creators can produce unlimited valuable content and value tends to accrue to creators, raising direct questions about how creator coins capture value for token holders.

In current creator-economy designs, fee flows often prioritize creator earnings over generic token-holder accrual, which can cap direct value capture for platform tokens without explicit cash-flow rights.

On friend.tech, trades incur a fee with a defined share paid to creators, aligning revenue primarily with creators rather than any separate platform token exposure.

On DeSo, creator coins use bonding curves with a configurable founder reward that pays creators a percentage of each purchase, concentrating value accrual at the creator level rather than at a platform token.

Trading takeaway: when evaluating creator coins or related platform tokens, prioritize structures with enforceable on-chain claims to cash flows or governance over fee splits; absent these, exposure primarily benefits creators while token holders may see weaker direct value capture.
