Ep88 Mutuals are not enough

With Aaron away, Chris, Pri, and Derek unpack Glitch’s latest release with die with the most likes, Dying Is Not Enough. Derek explains why Glitch operates without a fixed calendar or revenue targets, choosing projects artist by artist and treating its Marfa gallery as only one tool within a broader internet-native model. They explore the collection’s grief-soaked animations, poems, and extended titles, and why art about death, fear, and mourning deserves to exist beyond decorative expectations. The conversation then turns to whether one successful release can restore confidence in a stagnant NFT market and remind artists and collectors what made crypto art compelling in the first place. From there, the group examines X’s algorithm shift, the return of mutuals to the timeline, and the platform’s retreat from viral clip farming. The episode closes with conspiracy rabbit holes, a disputed Tony Hsieh will, Substack fatigue, and Chris’s case for withdrawing attention from political systems and global crises that offer no meaningful agency in return.
