RE: Say No to pirated movies, albums or TV shows – White Rabbit
I once had an argument with someone on Twitter if there would be incentive for people to pay content creators directly through services like Brave, I was surprised to hear brave paying out content creators even though I thought it wouldn't work. I think services like this and white Rabbit will be the future for alternative ways of monetizing your intellectual property. With middle men out of the way and secured card less payment, it can be goodbye to piracy (for movies), maybe not immediately, but in the long run.
I am brand new to Steemit and this crypto-world; I completely understand that content creators deserve to get paid for what they do. I have never heard of Brave and am having trouble finding more info about it. Are you referring to the browser with ad/script blocking built in?
Yeah, that's brave, but its actually bigger than the browser. Brendan (hope I got that right), the creator of Javascript, believes this is the right way content should be rewarded. He says it will do away with middle men such as ad companies and platform owners who make money from your content then pay you from it. This way, instead of having annoying ads on you site/blog, you have an ad free blog and your audience set a budget from which they pay you. Its called Attention Token. I hope I gave you clear info but you can follow him on twitter to learn more.
Ahah, I found the information, thanks for that. Fascinating concept. Seems like it'll be hard to implement to get to mainstream. Many people are far too used to "free" internet. Glad someone has created a good alternative.
Exactly what i thought and that was my initial argument but I came to learn that all they need is some traction and they will gradually become mainstream, and even if they cant make mainstream, they would have gotten a justifiable market to guaranty they stay in business in the long run. We can only wait to see how they fair but brave is not doing bad and I'm sure White Rabbit and similar services will also thrive.
