RE: Would you buy me STEEM ?

in #steem7 years ago

Sound too good to be true. How could you monetize it without taking a fee? Betting on price change would be risky. Counting on upvotes/donations would be great too. Another idea?

Sort:  

Advertisement could be one potential and maybe some derivative service..

Yes, ads, of course.
But there's still that belief that steem will help getting rid of ads ..

That will be impossible ads make the internet and other media survive. But for the moment ads are not coming in steem. Ads needs more eyeballs hundred millions maybe before it will an alternative ads medium and rhat would make the platform viable for all users.

Since many steem* users are geeks and commonly use ad blockers, ads put in here would get a very low hit ratio. Plus the problems to integrate them with steem economy in a way that does not anger users..

Unless ad managers get very clever and integrate it in some meaningful way in the blockchain.

Wether we like it or ads will be coming our way. They will always find a way to circumbent ad blockers. And besides money talks. Even voting votes advertise themselves in steemit in a diffirent way. Social media like steem and facebook are medium for information just like tv or cable networks.
