I liked the concepts a lot. But the money part was ambiguous.

As in:

1. Get fascinated by some area a community is interested in

2. Dig into it, find and overcome challenges

3. Create an offshoot community around your insights

4. ???

5. Profit

I feel like Ken in the Barbie Movie had 1-3. He was really into "Beach". And lots of people liked "Beach". But that didn't lead to any money in the real world.

A follow up essay on that missing link would be great.

Once you have a community, monetization just requires a bit of creativity. If it’s an authentic community, you’ll already have deep insights into what members desires are (intellectual fullfillment, belonging, relationships, etc) and how those can be fulfilled better. It can be something as simple as status badges for donors, or something more complex like a new app or product.
