RE: The attention economy and advertising spend (some more stats)

in #economics8 years ago

Excellent article. You may find some resistance from the Whales on opening up Steemit to external currency (real world as you put it). As far back as June, I was involved in a few discussions about adding advertising to Steemit to grow the platform and met very strong resistance from some of the witness/whale class. They wanted to keep the user interface "pure" as they put it.

Hey, @gregory-f, we do not necessarily need the advertising on the Steemit application itself. Remember the underlying platform can be used to spin off any other type of application which might contain advertising. Watch this space. I will show you how in a few weeks :)
