Fans Quote by Jack Conte
“The problem that we're solving is: You're a creator, and you're reaching thousands of people, or hundreds of thousands or millions of people, and you're not getting paid, you don't have a monthly paycheck. What we're not is a distribution platform. We're not a place to find brand new fans if you don't have an audience yet for your work.”
