With dhf it can be an option. It could also be a separate dapp for crowdfunding. I think during the legacy chain there was a dapp planning or doing something similar.
I still think there's a massive gap between regular crowdfunding and hive funding. The difference is how much value is brought back to the chain.
Kbk carries huge value in terms of bridging the online chain and physical location as well as a community space to engage the community and promote hive. If crowdfunding similar projects can be bring just as much value, then the inflation going to such crowdfunding is not a bad idea to try out.
I thought about that too. A separate interface like Travelfeed. With a "become my patron" option. So that with one click (+ Keychain authorisation) you could set up an autovote.
There should also be some more organised support for those authors who write about Hive in other social media.
The most important thing is (and I've been saying this for almost six years) to attract content creators. Those who are already doing it.
