Eg: if I grew my profile really well. Say 100k. People like and trust me. Someone offers me a million for my profile, which I cannot resist. Now new owner

The issue being highlighted here is one that even I have been pondering over the last few days. I recently received an offer of over 0.1 eth for my lens profile and it got me thinking. Since then I have been conflicted, as to whether I want to use this social media profile as a personal profile or as a brand because that would ultimately decide my decision to sell the profile if I receive a significant enough offer in the future. Right now I am leaning towards developing this profile like a personal brand where I can share my thoughts and notes on topics that interest me. I don't have an answer to the question if I would sell it for a significant sum. I feel my ultimate decision to monetize would hinge upon the value that I am able to create out of this profile. Nonetheless I feel decentralised social media platforms like Lens are a big step forward when juxtaposed to incumbent social media platforms by providing monetization avenues which weren't simply possible before. Extremely Bullish on Lens🚀
I think its a valid point for personal profiles but what about if you grew a brand or a company account? also what if you want to transfer to a new address. The protocol ia agnostic to all the scenarios but can be tweaked on use-case basis
You can check from explorer wen account has been sold/transferred etc - also if you sell it, as a brand it’s important to announce it - then people might unfollow
It’s very simple for apps to show users when a profile has been sold/transferred. Compare this to web2 where it’s not actually possible. You should be able to sell things you own. This is the whole point of web3.
