Most people are trying to avoid that message as it brings in the wrong types

This is why screening comes into play. And this is also where organic voting mechanisms come into play. All of this would regulate the noise. Already has. The message can be carved out and targeted to speak to a very specific audience.

For instance, I wouldn't just throw it up on FB or Google Ads. I'd strategically infiltrate Medium and Reddit with sponsored ads. People who are already motivated to create content even though they get paid shit is the target audience you're looking for.

Already has.

I beg to differ, I'm of the mentality we failed on that front. Just look at trending and how poorly it works as well as Hive Watchers.

You mean the "Wild West" @sorin.cristescu was talking about? The issue that could use a little governance, as it were?

It can all come together.

1. target the appropriate audience
2. screen users
3. reward good content
4. have some level of paid governance (not censorship, governance on policies set like on any other platform)

All of this requires a slightly paid staff. And paid marketing...at first. Rather than spending on outside shit, build the inside and pay the littles. They got big mouths. They tell their friends. Marketing will need very little after the first wave hits.

Regulate the meanies and the stupids. Reward creators and curators. It'll take care of itself.
