Much will be possible if NIKE should think Steemit in their quest to poll vault over middle men to reach direct consumers!
But does steemit actually fit the bill, where Amazon failed??
A million dollars question,I think!!
Nevertheless, a trial would do the magic! So , welcome to the steemiville , if you will @nike!
Hey, @whyaskwhy.
A very good question. I think the main issue was Nike wanting to have more control over who sells their shoes. That kind of cramps Amazon's style since they make more than half their revenue off of third-party sellers. If they started cracking down on Nike resellers, than they would need to do it with everyone else.
On STEEM, at least not currently, there isn't quite that problem. That's not to say it wouldn't appear in a heartbeat, given how spam/scam/phish schemes have abounded, but where Amazon is slow to go after third-party resellers, or to do it more delicately and over time, STEEM has basically done the opposite, even if it could be considered to the detriment to new users and to STEEM's reputation.
Regardless, it seems to me that Nike would have much more control here over who sells their items than they would anywhere else, simply because the amount of revenue they would bring to the platform would far outweigh what smaller resellers could bring combined even if they could get off the ground.
Thanks to my bro! Well explains. It is understood completely!!
