Fans buy copies of a creator's video, and no AI allowed - BCZ YapZ with Gabriel (Found Some)

BCZ YapZ - hosted by Zaal, Better Call Zaal - with Gabriel (Found Some).

What it covers

Gabriel is a builder from New York City making Found Some, an app where fans buy copies of a creator's short video. Early buyers pay less, the creator earns from every copy, and AI-made video is not allowed. He got the idea watching the same subway performers for years and asking how the people who value them could back them. Zaal and Gabriel get into how the price curve works, how he trains a model to spot AI video, what Zora got wrong, and why the app says "copies" and never "tokens".
