Three live arguments in creator economy that are worth having in public

The real debates are about scale versus intimacy, how far to diversify before the brand gets blurry, and when to build products beyond sponsorships. None of those questions have universal answers, but they are better asked with a revenue mix in front of you.

Three questions worth debating:
- when creators should productize beyond sponsorships
- how much diversification is too much for a small team
- whether scale or intimacy creates better long-term leverage
