RE: Poll: Would You Like if Steemit Sold Advertising and Shared the Revenue with Us?
Advertisement based revenue isn't worth much of anything. Back in the day I use to write for a site similar in the way that the users vote for what content they like. I was recovering at the time from a botched operation so I had the time to sit there for 8 hours a day and it rewarded me a whole $30 a month. I just don't see it being worth it really.
Are you sure? My understanding is that Facebook is making billions in advertising. And when I say advertising, I mean strictly advertising, not the part about how they are selling our information to companies, that's a different thing.
Yeah I still don't think it is worth it. Money isn't everything and that is one of the biggest issues in the world now days is corporate greed. I would really hate to see the block chain get tainted with that greed on top of the human greed many people have.
Ok but doesn't greed drive a lot of progress? I mean, let's look at Steemit for example, many of us moved here specifically because we wanted to participate in a social media platform where we get paid...some would call that greed, no? Wouldn't you agree that part of the attraction to Steem is the fact that we can make money doing what we were already doing on Reddit?? Why did you come to Steem?
being rewarded for creating content is nice, but we are being rewarded without having to depend on advertisers I think once we have that dependency thing it will be all about advertising products instead of advertising ourselves, because that in reality what our blogs are an advertisement on ourselves. We should have to compete with corporate America
