using the front end is better valued and in parallel, I think the community itself would be more valued.
It should be because users who use the front end have contributed to the traffic of the proofofbrain.io. The value of the website is based on the traffic. Leo is one of the most successful tribes that encourage users to post and engage via the front end. Leo monetizes the traffic by displaying ads and the ads revenue is burnt to keep the value of Leo. If proofofbrain developers want to monetize the traffic by displaying ads, there will be no problems with the users.
You brought a very good point talking about LeoFinance project, @lebah.
Well... I think that publishing a post using the POB front end would be of great help, and anyone who wants to use the front end to comment on other posts would also be something very valid.
