The standard and expectations are too restrictive, high and not flexible to be matched and accommodated by many independent small contributors in the Jupiverse.
And when I say high, I mean there is too much focus on “content production quality” (to a specific way) and “high engagement” over “content quality” which I never said is entirely bad, am just saying when small creator thinks in their own unique way of contributing to the Jupiverse, we need to support them and not request they must change to meet the set strict standards first before been seen to qualify for grants and supports. That’s my point and hope you got it clearly now, please!
For example,
Kindly check Solandy on YouTube, a top independent creator of developer content for Solana developers.
He mixes comedy with programming (normally that is not conventional and am sure someone like that will face the same thing am facing here now in Jupiverse if he were to be a smaller creator like me because the team can’t just accommodate his uniqueness of merging comedy and programming content as that doesn’t meet normal standards just like I was told,
he would likely be told who will watch that when there are serious programming channels to watch - he does not have fancy editing either"
But today, many Solana developers like him (myself included) for his unique style and his content still helps a lot of solana developers today.
In fact, I will be surprised if anyone tells me they have been a Solana developer for more than 3 months and never came across Solandy content on their online searches for Solana development content.
The expectations aren’t realistically accommodating and embracing the diversity of creators within the Jupiverse.

Introducing “JupFAQAnswered” Platform + 100 Days “JupFAQAnswered” Challenge (Updated Daily)
I have no aspiration to work or be hired by Jupiter and the DAO or any Working Group (If offered, I will gladly turn it down) - I love my independence.
Am just here to contribute as an independent small creator in my own unique style and where I think I have discovered some things the DAO may be lacking or have already but need more to add.
MY GOAL:
I want to create enough Jupiter FAQ answered videos that if anyone search on google, Youtube, AI chat etc in next 1 year about Jupiter will come across my content to help them -
That is one of the bones of contention, the team have met seems not to understand that but instead wants me to conform to how others have already been creating content which is a clear NO for me - My goal is clear and all that matters is the team to support or just ignore but not water it down.
Lastly am here as a voice to say Jupiverse is a home Please lets ensure TRANSPARENCY and FAIRNESS in all we do and we will grow Jupiverse beyond our imaginations.
PS:
I would appreciate it if the team could support my 100 Days “JupFAQAnswered” challenge with a DAO grant (unconventional, yeah I know - and don’t have any amount in mind because my focus is on sustaining the content pipeline to hit a target of 200 - 300 Jupiter FAQs Answered videos within the 100 Days to have enough content to have covered almost any aspect of Jupiter FAQs.
I can achieve it because I currently answer about 1 to 4 Jupiter FAQs with videos each day of the challenge so today is Day 13 and already done 39 Jupiter FAQ Answered videos on the JupFAQAnswered Youtube Channel
So, am open to what they can offer (as long as they allow me to keep my content style and deliver it in a way I see fit for my audience not forced to conform to them when they do not even understand my audience) as I believe it will take a while to proof what am doing is working because its SEO, not conventional standard they are used to and not social media quick well polished and viral shareable content.*
(1) I have done my research including SEO,
(2) I know my target audience (beginners searching to learn about Jupiter on Google/Youtube etc) not TikTokers or X users and
(3) I have already started creating the content in the format that solves my target audience problem for about 2 weeks now through the 100 days challenge.
NOTE: Ain’t into fancy editing or anything of such because my audience isn’t after that - am not posting for virality on Tiktok or X audience - am focusing on Search audience.
Though it might not be a huge view like X but will be impactful in helping those searching out anything they want to know about Jupiter on Google, YouTube, Chatbots like ChatGPT etc) and onboard more to the Jupiverse.
tistic love to you.
Thanks for caring to actually understand what am doing within the Jupiverse!
