Cool. I get what he is saying. A lot of people don't like the idea of ads being on there but I actually feel that adding a few non intrusive ads could help fund the project even further in my opinion.
In the end a lot of the demand will come from content creators wanting to have more influence. So even if the STEEM blockchain is this weird place where people are just interacting with one another for their own gain and increased power relative to newer users / content creators coming in the platform will sustain itself.
If you really boil it down a lot of it is the same as the advertising model that Google and Facebook uses..... but instead of 3rd party advertisers trying to sell you something we are the advertisers who keep trying to get attention and promote ourselves and our lives.
It is sort of like everyone on STEEM is a mini Tai Lopez trying to get everyone’s attention and gain more and more eyes on them. Tai buys Slip Stream ads. We buy STEEM Power
I totally agree I look at it the same way. Facebook in a sense has no product, technically they do with messenger and payemnts and what have you but ultimately their product is people like you and I adding content which brings other people there.
Most social media platforms have no product, their product is the content we produce and with the exception of Youtube/Adsense none of them give back at all to the creators. I think Twitter had tried to make a play into video offering something like a 70% revenue split, I applied htey never took me on and I dont' think they were too successful with it.
Anyhow, I agree essentially Steemit is like a Facebook but instead of Mark Zuckerberg keeping all the profits from advertisers we all get a revenue share in it, almost like a co-op grocery store where all the employees are owners kinda deal.
I agree, I think having some unobtrusive ads would be cool, could be used to offer bounties or do fun contests. Steemit I believe does have a tee shirt and mug shop so it's not as if they are opposed to making money. I'd love to see ads if it benefited the community or benefited the platform
