There is way more revenue coming from:
- Premium
- LeoDex
- leo.voter
- Beneficiaries
- LeoBridge
Ad revenue was always a drop in the ocean for us. Ad networks don't pay like they used to and frankly, look at how much better our UI is without ads slowing down the performance
In the future, we'll bring back a direct B2B sale of ads on our own ad network. Until then, everyone has been far too focused on ads when the real juice lies elsewhere
Look at Premium - it's earning 20x per month ($2,500+) what we used to earn from Ads
I get that it's earning money from premium which is a great addition but it's just money coming from the same hive well again. All sell pressure.
At some stage money needs to come into the system from outside.
Hopefully leodex and a token bridge can get there if the focus stays there and works to grow it.
That's the main reason why ads struck a cord with the community. External money that we could have a direct impact upon. That we could help to grow.
