    The main issue with the adoption of the technology is that it is build through the Western Gaze, meaning that a more mainstream adoption of the technology will come through searching for the groups that develop for different demographics. I hope to accomplish more awareness and adoption of Web Monitization and Interledger technology within the mainstream domain.

    In the technology and music spaces, Women, Black, Brown, Asian, Indigenous, and LGBTQ communities have been underrepresented and under-served with far less access to equal resources and salaries than their white male cis counterparts.  We want to give our community the opportunity to use cutting edge resources and technology to further advance their careers and artist profiles. In addition, we want to see our community receive the financial dues they deserve.

    Project lead: Danika Ragnhild

    Attention-based podcast monetization is being explored within the tech community but no solution has been widely adopted. Most podcasts are monetized through advertising or subscriptions through platforms like Apple and Spotify which help producers earn revenue while also taking their own cut, tying listener’s consumption to their proprietary platform. What is needed is another option for podcast monetization that is as open and standards-based as podcasting itself and that connects support from listeners to the productions themselves.

    This project will allow the Brick House Cooperative to develop more partnerships for Briet, a WordPress plugin that will enable any publisher to create an ownable digital artifact compliant with digital library lending programs. We are working with the Open Library and the Internet Archive on this initiative. The result of this work will be vastly more digital publishers who can (a) control the rights and archiving of their media, (b) develop a new revenue stream from libraries acquiring their digital works to archive and lend, and (c) an unlocked value proposition for reader-supported projects, in that their donations can help publishers to produce new works, and libraries to acquire them permanently.
