RE: Non Intrusive Video Ads Targeted Toward New Users To Earn $SBD & Steem (BOUNTY IDEA)
personally i don't think this would be the right move for steemit at the moment. We have enough people screaming scam as it is add this into the works now and they'll be screaming that it wreaks of desperation and that steem doesn't work without bribing advertisers with guarenteed views and bribing users to watch them.
Interesting view. It may not be the right time for this feature to be added, but I thought it cannot hurt to see what the community thought. I like that people can agree and disagree and both opinions are equally valid. Sometimes criticism can show that you thought about the content even further than some who tend to agree with everything. Thanks for you input @phoenixmaid
oh it never hurts to put an idea forward and it's not a bad one at all lots of sites do it quite succesfully look at swagbucks for instance. but i think we need to proove that steem can find better ways to attract advertisers.
Yes I have fiddled with swagbucks myself. I think you should propose some ideas about ways to bring advertising dollars to steemit. Maybe in the form of coupons or something that people may actually enjoy seeing instead of popups and videos you wish to skip through.
I've suggested a few times that we should have adverts displayed on pages when non members visit the site, this will encourage authors to share their links via other social networks bringing traffic to the site thus breaking the internal traffic loop (which a lot of advertisers dislike and has been the downfall of quite a few paid to write sites in the past) while simultaniously providing authors with a residual income in a similar fashion to youtube. this of course would have to be an opt in programme after a set period of time during which a user has to prove they are indeed creating original content.
