Sounds like you've been reading my posts and ramblings over the years because this sounds a lot like how I think. They were all about "allocating inflation" back in the day claiming people don't pay out of pocket for content and didn't once stop to think the money going out could easily be replaced with money coming in from people actually interested in supporting content creators. Content creators could have been selling those perks to their supporters for several years now. Biggest names to ever show up didn't even mention it. They were smothered in votes, very few views, and didn't even think to create a revenue stream for themselves by selling those perks.
Have a look at all those streamers. Have a look at all that money flowing in from supporters who are actually present in that moment. There would be far more if it was shared with supporters. On other platforms the money is spent. On this platform, using reward pools as tools, the money is not spent. Money flowing in constantly like that combined with a crypto means you don't have hundreds of millions sitting on an exchange doing nothing. And for the life of me I can't figure out why others don't see this, even when it's explained one hundred different ways that all make sense. Staking tokens and voting; tipping that way. That's a really good deal. Can't find a better one.
Can see those words in some of my old posts. "I absolutely love sharing half with those kind enough to support my work."
Spin the narrative so that things stay the same but are perceived differently, and we might get those consumers we've been talking about since forever.
That's all it takes. It really is that simple.
