Cryptonauts, LaborDAO, Nym and Wetspace update The Agenda on the state of crypto

A little over a year and a half has passed since The Agenda podcast first launched, and in each episode, co-hosts Jonathan DeYoung and Ray Salmond ask guests to share how crypto and blockchain are helping to improve the lives of people around the world.

With the podcast approaching the 40-episode mark, it seemed like prime time to revisit previous guests to discuss their progress over the previous year and their plans for 2025.

WetSpace founder and CEO Allie Rae expressed her optimism on how AI could boost creator revenue and enhance the consumer experience on subscription-based platforms.

“I love what’s happening with it. I do think this is the problem, though. If creators don’t see it and adapt to it, you very well may run your business dry. But the point is, I look at it as a massive opportunity for creators utilizing AI to give your fans something more, something cooler where you can really program this to you and have your face, your likeness and speak with your fans. And not in a manipulative way, but in a fun way for them.”

When asked whether creator and consumer activity on the platform had risen throughout the 2024 bull market, Rae said that Wetspace is thriving and excited to roll out new incentives and features that are creator-centric.

“One of the things we’re most excited about right now is we have a really amazing creator referral program that we launched. It’s better than anything that’s ever been out there, and it really gives top creators an opportunity to kind of bring other smaller creators under their wing, to help coach them into things.”

Generally, these types of incentives siphon income away from mentees and to the mentor and platform, but Rae said the profit-sharing “comes out of what WetSpace is cut, not the creators. So we’re really trying to do that because we want to get creators on the platform.”
