Community Monetization (a 3Speak example)
The current YouTube delisting issues make for a good real world example for single-community Native Ads monetization.
A channel as a community
Suppose YouTube channel owners were to try and use @threespeak with the aim of monetizing their channels. A YouTube channel can be represented by a community (probably Type 2 Journal is more appropriate). So creating a channel will be "creating a community."
There are differences between YouTube monetization and what can be offered through Native Ads.
Custom sponsorship deals
Currently, for a YouTube channel owner to offer sponsored content on their channel they have these options:
- Show stuff in their videos (images, scrolling bottom banner, etc)
- Talk about it in their videos
The options are limited because they do not own the channel, essentially and they can't control its monetization directly, when compared to what a Steem community can offer.
With Native Ads monetization (assuming a Hivemind Communities implementation by @threespeak), the options available to a channel owner include all the above, plus:
- Sponsored polls, where an advertiser creates a poll and pays tokens for ad space and time in the channel
- Sponsored discussion, where an advertiser starts a discussion in the channel, and pays tokens for this opportunity
A market for ads
Currently, a YouTube channel owner can monetize by leveraging Google's Ad Market. This has been built up for years and it now has worldwide demand and an interface that gives advertisers access to the entire market, with tools for targeting and analysis.
A Native Ads market will grow with time, as with all things. When there are thousands of communities of many types, the momentum will create the need for tools to navigate the various communities and analyse their reach for targeting purposes.
SMTs and attention tokens
It's obvious that if every affected YouTube channel owner joins 3Speak right now, they would be relying on upvotes, for rewards from a STEEM pool that's controlled by different holders with varying interests, which is not conducive to an attention economy.
I foresee the creation of pure attention tokens, that cater to community monetization. For example, 3Speak could create an SMT that can be used by all their users to monetize their communities. It can have parameters fine tuned for its specific use as an attention token and it won't be influenced by other SMTs or STEEM itself. 3Speak can have a portion of inflation sent to an account to fund development, or give people the option to donate a portion of their rewards (beneficiary settings).
As people accept the token as payment for ad space and ad time within various channels, the token gets demand value. As people interact with the videos (upvoting them and writing comments that also get upvotes) they earn these tokens too.
It will be a matter of getting the parameters right, such as:
- Curation Rewards Percent
- Inflation rate
- Cashout window
In conclusion...
The combination of Hivemind Communities and Native Ads can offer video creators the chance to own their channels and have full control over the monetization options they use.

I am working on a number of new features to extend Hivemind, as a way to experiment and help develop a testbed that Steem front-ends can use. To see the code, check out the branches on my fork of Hivemind on GitHub.
On STEEM, EOS or BITSHARES? have crypto? Human Trafficking Included. This is on VOICE as well. The developers are helping terrorists human traffic. WARNING
Self proclaimed community watchdogs are actually hacking and stalking people.
This group https://steemit.com/@steemspeak is ran by https://steemit.com/@fyrstikken. They are hacking people that enter this discord server https://discordapp.com/invite/sqxV63P . Once you are hacked they profile you long enough to know all of your activities. They introduce workplace gangstalking visits and bring it to your attention cleverly and discretely so only you get it. They are very covert and tricky with everything they say and do in this server. Some claim to have worked for or are working with the FBI and the NSA. Mixed with decommissioned traders and coding criminals, Its a scary mix of creepy people and their intent is to drive you crazy and deplete everything you have ever acquired in life, even your freedom.
My hacking started with them introducing ransomware that has options, dump my coin or delete my system drive. They acknowledged this to me in the server as it happened. I've been following this group since before it was on discord. I joined when it was on teamspeak.
This hacking and stalking is done so they can manipulate the target to pump and dump for them. Threatening and Making victims wear head phones, so nobody in your household can hear thier dramatization towards you. In 2017 this server was side marked as a drama show for entertainment purposes only as an excuse to say whatever they want all the way down to killing a politician. They have a server side command called "hey asshole" making a prompt come up instructing everyone to wear headphones. They want everyone wearing headphones so nobody in your vicinity can hear them mess with you. Fystikken says its because of "mic feedback" but once your a target you get exactly why they make everyone wear headphones.
With headphones on they subliminally direct victims with very low suggestive whispers mixed into their radio shows music. Combine this with them being able to manipulate their own individual outputs sound volume, which they control on the server side, they can pick what individual people hear at any given time. They decide who you hear on the server and change the volume controls for them. They can make some really low or off for those trying to investigate. They control who hears what and know who is who.
This team will find absolutely everything they can about you prior to using their suggestive and threatening program. They Introduce pictures that mean something only to the target, inducing paranoia while they watch and listen thru all of your circumvented devices. They are very aware of what makes you tick. They know your work schedule and use it for work stalking along side of this. I received multiple threatening letters to my work and home addressed to my screen name from this group.
Fyrstikken tells people they are drafted like they did with Facebook at the beginning. He says Facebook was started by forced labor and V2K controlled slaves, just like he creates with his gang for steem and crypto. "Get to work bitch" he tells people once circumvented and intimidated.
