We think this is one of the ways hive scales. you can identify an existing online community and drop value to them, giving them a social platform almost for free. potential is there. lets see if we can do it as a community!
Ads is interesting. it all needs work. need OS contributions.
we also thought that top stakers could get special privileges, like mining community issued NFTs, access to speak in DMs with certain users, or ability to influence inflation. ad model is also considered but not built yet. you are right, these community tokens need sinks, not just distribution, else they go to zero.
also, we want to build it so that you must stake both hive and the community token to post to the community platform and thereby earn points for interacting on the platform and thereby earn inflation
