6 Month Funding of the Paraverse Content Creators
Hello everyone!
Bounty 12 has evolved over the past few years into an impressive content generation machine that supports early-stage creators on their journey to becoming confident and independent stewards of the story of Polkadot and Kusama by incentivizing them with KSM rewards and sub-bounties. Now we're taking the next step forward. In an effort to decentralize even more, Directors of specific units will now completely and independently head their units while utilizing WagMedia's tools to further the growth of the creators incubating under their tutelage.
This proposal aims to continue the funding of the Paraverse Content Creators (previously General Unit) which supports creators who report on and create original content to help promote Polkadot and Kusama, especially content focused on parachains, the relay chains that secure them, governance, and general principles collectively held by the community. For greater than a year, creators within this group have generated content on the relay chains and nearly every parachain in the ecosystem. This content has been produced in many different formats including interviews with founders, long-form articles, Twitter threads, YouTube and TikTok videos, and more.
The tools and methods we use to evaluate and reward content have improved as well and you can learn all about the proposal here.
We are excited to continue sharing the story of Polkadot and Kusama and would love to hear feedback from the community. Thank you!

First, I want to thank the WagMedia team for all your effort in spreading the word about Polkadot/Kusama ecosystem. This project is a MUST-HAVE for our entire ecosystem bc allows and incentivizes regular users to create and when you create you learn and when you learn you teach and when you teach, you create... Also, ALL users are welcome to improve their skills and learn with others in a simple and easy way. There is no more decentralized way to incentivize people to create content about Polkadot than WagMedia (once applying for tips is WAY complex for a user who just creates an awesome Twitter thread). Another relevant point is the language lounges and the writer's room. We are building together a strong Polkadot community and discovering new content creators/influencers to teach new users about Polkadot in an easy way.
Well reasoned, and a cornerstone of what WagMedia is doing. Has my full support (as do the sister proposals). Really loving the autonomous direction these have taken, feedback from previous rounds of funding really taken to heart.
