Resteemed.
One thing that I keep thinking, over the many months on Steeem, is that using crypto earnings to fund real world expenses can be a problem. Was great when STEEM was $8, but not so great now.
The most obvious solution is to allow advertising, but this was generally shot down as being against the spirit of decentralisation and independence. We already have a form of advertising in post promotions. I have blogged on websites whose whole income came from advertising, and it can be integrated in such a way as to not look intrusive or ugly.
I feel this topic needs revisiting, especially as it would require some coding to insert ads into a platform.
