Despite the cutting acceptance of The Raven, it netted Poe a absolute of $24; over bisected of that bulk was alms that he accustomed for what may accept been a draft. Adjusted for inflation, his arcane masterpiece netted him a absolute $754.91 in 2024.
To put this in a abreast context, anticipate about an all-embracing chart-topping single, say Taylor Swift’s Shake it Off. It’s adamantine to brainstorm Ms. Swift affairs that track, rights and all, to a almanac characterization for a little over $750.
The Raven went viral, aboriginal in the US, again in Europe. It has become so acutely built-in in abreast ability that we’re still reciting, remixing, and reimagining it in assorted media to this day.

David was abashed back he aboriginal abstruse about the allowance the biographer accustomed for The Raven. It got him cerebration about the hurdles that abounding of today’s creatives charge affected in adjustment to acquire a living, such as absorb contravention and fair payment.
Experience as a complete artist at Rockstar Games Vienna and as a ambassador at Sony DADC gave David a abysmal compassionate of the wants and needs not alone of agreeable creators, but additionally of artistic teams, activity managers, and consumers. It became bright to him that the agenda agreeable industry bare a belvedere that facilitated the assembly and administration processes.

For example, a being who writes lyrics for a song gets a share, say bristles percent, of the song’s revenue. Every time addition buys that song, the artist gets bristles percent of that payment.”
Qravity bare a defended and cellophane agency of befitting this action equitable. There was additionally the amount of attention absorb and preventing piracy. “I was speaking with my acquaintance and business accomplice Sascha Dennstedt [Qravity’s Co-Founder and CFO] about Poe and how, in some ways, little has afflicted financially for artists,” says David, “He said that we should accommodate blockchain into Qravity. Some analysis assertive me that this fabricated absolute sense.”
Using acute contracts, Qravity provides creatives with abiding and cellophane annal of their stakes in the projects they advice complete. They accept these annal in the anatomy of agenda tokens alleged QPT. Based on the bulk of QPT they hold, Qravity sends creators a allotment of acquirement becoming whenever the agreeable they helped accomplish is purchased. They accept these payments in the anatomy of Qravity’s cryptocurrency, QCO.
