The Creator Economy Is Broken in Asia—Can Decentralization Fix It? (w/ Feng Chiu - CEO of WAZCHER)

In this episode of Overnight Success, I’m speaking with Feng Chiu – CEO @ Wazcher, a Web3 "watch-to-earn" video platform redefining content ownership and monetization for both influencers and viewers. We dive into the bold vision behind Wazcher—from using NFTs to enable true channel ownership, to building a video compression system faster than TikTok and YouTube. Feng shares how embedded e-commerce inside video could reshape creator economics, and why decentralization gives power back to the people who create and watch content. If you’ve ever wondered: • Why Asian influencers are underpaid—and how TikTok donations changed the game • What happens when viewers earn crypto for watching content • Could NFTs give creators full ownership over their channels—and even let them sell them like digital businesses? • How does e-commerce inside a video actually work—and why is it already doing $100M+ in Taiwan? • Why mindset—not money or infrastructure—is often the biggest thing holding Asian founders back —then this episode is a must-listen. About Our Guest Feng Chiu is the founder and CEO of Wazcher, a Web3 video platform reimagining how content is owned, watched, and monetized. With a background spanning video tech, e-commerce, and decentralization, Feng is on a mission to build tools that empower influencers and viewers—especially across Asia—to think and earn globally.
