RE: SMT Talk: Rewarding Behaviors and Ways you can Earn Tokens
I love your laugh, had to laugh along :)
Who is doing the guitar in the background?
Yes, Pepsi could buy 10mil of steem and have their advertisement right there. However they could currently reach only 60k of active people on steemit, right? I think many of those big companies don't see how it will pan out in long run. They rather focus on current short-term profitability. But when I think again I don't even want commercials on steemit and am pretty sure it would be seen as spam by the community and flagged.
Hehe...thank you! That was actually @jacobts...i sooooo don't play guitar myself. (Though I do have a chime drum, lol.)
Yea...our current active user levels are way too low for most bigger companies to take interest in. Buuut...I would figure they'd actually find non-traditional ways of getting eyes on them, beyond serving up ads. For example..just getting upvotes from a decent SP level 'Pepsi' account would make you take note. Or running contests, calls for user generated content, etc.
I remember a while back when Time magazines 'person of the year' went to user generated content, lol: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16242528/ns/us_news-life/t/time-magazines-person-year-you/
Oh yes, I remember that one. There was even one person who applied for a job saying that he was featured in Time as a person of the year. They haven't asked him for what or why and he got the job :)
Being upvoted form Pepsi would certainly be a commercial in itself. Account @pepsi was already registered in July 2016. Whoever did that it did a smart move. @mcdonalds also registered in April 2016. Ok, I won't go further. I bet there are a bunch of them.
Haha...that's brilliant! If I was interviewing I'm sure I'd have asked for details, lol.
Yea...there's already been a good amount of name squatting on here. Sigh...but I'm sure for a bit company it'd be a drop in the bucket if they wanted it. Another reason for them to buy those accounts early though...while I'm sure they'd be quoted as cheaper.
