This could indeed be profitable for Hive.
Less impactful but this could lead to a reason to get an account. (A non ad experience if you get an account)
Do you explicitly mention this somewhere? That you get an experience without adds when you register an account?
Not yet as we just rolled out the test. BUT we can add it in a couple places for the non-user experience ... something like "Ad Free User account" "Ad Free for Users"??
But is the Ad Free account also for free?
yes, afaik peakd uses hiveonboard for acc creation which is supplied by ocdb account tickets for free.
altho glancing upon its wallet activity at this time tells me that is no longer the case: https://peakd.com/@hiveonboard/wallet
