RE: Advertising on steem: Without it, steem is dead !
I don't think that steemit will advertise any time soon. Maybe you should create your own front end for the blockchain and use advertisement there.
The attraction for users could be that they regularly receive "advertisement awards" as a share of the ad revenue and based on the clicks they get on their content.
Depending on the overall looks and functionality, I'd find that very attractive.
I would if I could. First, I am not a tech. And Secondly, I do not under the privacy policy of steem blockchain. Can I just access from steem blockchain and put on advertising. Chain BB does something similar and I don't understand how legal this is. What prevents someone from really abusing the steem blockchain content for personal profit ?
that's a good question. I have no idea about the copyrights. I would guess that it is ok. Let's see what steemits terms of service have to say:
That was the closest that I could find. There should be an extra TOS for the blockchain. Do you know where to find it?
This post has quite detailed info about the content rights. As per this post, steemit has full rights to content posted through steemit. And yet we have 3rd party web apps like busy.org and chainBB blatantly using all content on steem (95% of that should have originated on steemit.com) blockchain. If this can be done, let's just make a blog, take all the steemit posts, put ads and rake it in.
wow, you're right. It says:
So, steemit doesn't get the property rights but just assumes that the content used from the blockchain does not have a copyright. That means, everything coming from the blockchain to steemit can be taken, published and sold elsewhere.
This makes steemit basically to a collaborative collector of non-copyright content. Quite awesome - if you know what to do with it.
You just have to separate the garbage from the pearls (and there are many here).
