I'm very happy to see this feature implemented on peakd and have turned on ads for my account straight away. Hopefully others do the same and we can see what revenue can be generated from the experiment. I'm hoping to see a post in a few weeks with results and to keep the community informed and involved in the process.
I know that it won't be huge to start with but the ads are non-intrusive and all users should turn them on to help the community. It would even be good for new account sign-ups to have to opt out rather than opt in as standard to help increase the views.
Small amounts add up very fast and if we can increase our pageviews in the next bull run those numbers could go up.
We all know from experience that the best form of advertising in crypto is price and if we can get more front ends earning revenue and buying hive from the markets it could create a positive effect on the price which in turn will bring in more users and encourage all of us to produce more front facing content.
If the ads did buy enough hive it would also be nice down the line to reward the content creators who are bringing in the most views and further incentivize quality content to keep increasing those numbers.
Even if the revenue is low to start i hope that the team keep going with the experiment for the foreseeable future until we can see if the community as a whole can work towards building out a library of SEO posts that will keep generating more and more revenue over time.
I'm 100% behind this proposal and have been asking for it with years. So happy to see the team taking a chance with ads and if it's successful we might see even more front ends doing the same and get more buy pressure on the hive markets. In the end it will benefit us all and give us more reason to buy hive ourselves if we know that there is a mechanism there to stop the constant sell pressure that we have seen over the past few years.
More active users and a higher price will totally change the view of our eco-system and encourage other devs to build their projects here if they can see that their investment will go up over time as well as the brilliant tech that is there for them to work with.
Thanks for this.
