Could be ads the solution for Steemit crisis?

in #steem6 years ago

Dear steem-bountiers

in this time we are facing of a very deep financial crisis in crypto world and Steem market cap loose almost an half in just one month, so this is time to decide a solution.
We always appreciate Steemit as free of ads platform, but after HF20 the economical problem of Steemit made the exactly reverse task, instead to get more investment, most of people left the platform.
Now all the whales, which have thousands of SP, see their shares value dramatically dropped down, so this is the price to pay to have less spam?
Now time crypto ads are banned from the standard social media, so why Steemit cannot be the first social media crypto friendly?
Of course i do not mean to make ads like Coinpot where most of using them are scammers, but if it will be possible to do a serious ads politics, it could be wonderful to get this option for newcomers which instead to get just limited action because have no RC and SP, they can add it just watching some ads.
I would like to explain that my idea is to have option to choose ads view to recharge RC, so if who no need to do it can keep its Steemit free of ads.
I would like to ask to my friends an opinion, ads option could be a good solution to make Steemit and Steem going better?
In the same time i would support my beloved community of @steem-bounty.

there are ads on smoke.io and I dont mind them... especially if it raises the price of the token

I have said several times that Steem needs ads to get a steady flow of money that makes it stronger against price drops in other cryptocurrencies.

Watching ads to get RC has some problems, thought. First, the audience for those ads would be only the poor steemians, so companies won't want to spend much on those ads. Second, spammers may exploit that.

I think Steem should have reddit-style ads, centralized in a bid platform that burns the SBD advertiser pays. Another alternative that allows users to include ads in their posts may be useful, but I think the first mechanic should be the priority.

Dear my friend @ropaga, Steemit is controlled by whales who have a lot of Sp and do not need any ads, they sponsored to make HF20 to make Steemit as an elite platform and this is the shit they got, maybe they can make their own radical chic blog and let Steemit work as it is, a popular social media community!!

What is the solution for Steemit crisis? Ad only one of them.
I think ads platform is free or pay, is not problem.
The key point is that the official must have a repurchase program, AD can be one of them,but ad is not good solution, Because spending money on advertising must be for business opportunities, they often earn income but fail to fulfill their business. 90% are fraudulent.
Your idea is to have option to choose ads view to recharge RC, it is feasible, But not the best.
Steem need to do, Recycling its flow of money to Resist price drop, such as ad or Competitive competition:
Competitive competition:
such as Photography Competition.
The entrant puts his work into.
Voter chooses his goal.
voteup value is 0.000 to get 1 ticket.
voteup value is 0.005 to get 10 ticket.
Number of tickets = its voting value *2000 and at least 1 ticket.
Photo contest winners receive rewards
Vote winners equalize 80% reward.
Vote unwinned, equalize 20% reward.
Hold various kinds of competitions, Voters get tickets according to their voting value and get reward.
Let the platform be internationally and well-known for international and everyone's approval.
Brand is useful , can let Participants will never stop

Thank you for share your opinion, i think every suggestion is good if it is made to grown Steem and Steemit, let say it to @ned...

Personally, I hate seeing ads, especially gif or video ads. I think if we have to implement ads on Steemit whether for newbies or for everyone, it show come like another platform or dApp called it dAd or dAD or whatever. This way those who fancy earning from viewing ads will use the dApp. We are dealing with a decentralized system so, everyone should be left with a choice. There, I just gave you an idea, go and develop dAd lol

Thank you for share your opinion, i think every suggestion is good if it is made to grown Steem and Steemit, let say it to @ned...

Yeah, that's right.

greetings, I personally think that a good way to recover customers would be that in steemit, those who manage the page pay in a distributed way steem and sbd or failing to pay a certain percentage of steem and sbd, so that whoever wins, wins something from the currency that has more value and about the ads. I think it would have more feasibility in steemit, if this page had a better system of organization in the sense of knowing who are connected and that like the discord, there is a limit of channels where one can label publications to make it easier to find what one wants to search. Grateful with the steem-bounty system, successes and thanks

I agree with you my friend that in Steemit is missing a connected way of chat like FB using with messenger, because this separate Steemchat based on discord is orrible...:((

That was a beautiful idea @intellihandling. Never thought of such a thing. RC getting recharged using ads would be a great idea and would also bring a lot more people to steemit. Steem-bounty is a wonderful community. Today for the first time I have put a bounty on my latest blog. I have started small and will try to increase bounties if interactions start increasing. Thanks a lot for informing me about vote-club. I will surely join it.

Very good my friend!

I agree with this very much and have a project being developed that should help it greatly!

Don't worry my friend, we want people love Steemit and stay here not just for business...:))

I like https://dclick.io which is sort of a AdSense ripoff. It hasn't kicked off anything yet. We could also mimic Brave/BAT and implement a system where STEEM account holders can click on links to visit websites to earn STEEM. This way STEEM token gets increased demand and Steemit Inc can make some money. User won't mind ads like they do on other websites. It's kind of like @steem-bounty Maybe @knircky should look into a system like this even before Steemit Inc tries anything. It's a win win for all with minimal intrusion.

Dear my friend @vimukthi, Steemit is controlled by whales who have a lot of Sp and do not need any ads, they sponsored to make HF20 to make Steemit as an elite platform and this is the shit they got, maybe they can make their own radical chic blog and let Steemit work as it is, a popular social media community!!
@Kinrcky is good guy and is working to make Steemit better, but unfortunately he is almost alone...:((((((

ads option could be a good solution to make Steemit and Steem going better?

Certainly ...advertisements, affiliate marketers (who share a good %age of revenue) etc. are seriously needed on this platform. We need more innovative projects like dClick over here. Even projects like @originalworks are very heklpful but needs to scale up to transact high volume of STEEM. An advt aggregateor that has a sizable market share or a strategy to get a good hold of it would be of great help. So it's not just developing an ad platform but marketing it to reach big advertisers to participate in this campaigns.

Yes my friend, but we should get the opportunity that ads connected with crypto are banned from all standard social networks, so Steemit can make use of this chance...

Exactly, how could we miss this stream of income?

For example, Scorum.com already uses paid ads to get some revenue, why can´t we do the same, there are a lot of platforms/projects who would love to have an enormous visibility for a cheap amount of money. I mean, paying to roll an ad on Facebook is almost impossible for apps just starting, but doing that on Steemit would be much cheaper and would captivate lots of potential customers.

Yes my friend, it is exactly what i am thinking of....

ads can solve the problem absolutely

Thank you for your confirm

While I do think ads is a good idea like you said it needs to be done tastefully. I would much prefer other front ends like @busy.org, @esteem, @steempeak to make the case for ads too!

The more dApps we get off running on steemit inc nodes the less resources they need to supply so it also reduces strain on them

even with the current DAU steemit inc running ads from a network wont do much by way of eating into the $ 170 000 they claim to need per month, that's a huge ask for ads. Even with direct selling of ads via brand partnerships would only see them hit a max of say 50k and while that does compound over months to reduce expenses its by no means a saving grace for the team.

Steemit inc is a company that supports steem and yes it holds a big vested interest but if it wants to be bear proof they need to look at more traditional ways of finance, like a series A from private investors, while still launching ads.

This will give them runway to launch SMT's and other value generation and cost reduction deploys that will stabilise the value of steem and once we're into a bull run again they can sell off to return ROI and perhaps make enough for operating costs for the next 2-3 years the way blockone did with EOS

Dear my friend let say that if we will going on like this, maybe within next 2-3 years we will become dead valley community holding a shit coin...:(((

hi @intellihandling

I absolutely agree, that without ads this platform will never attract serious investors. Just content creators which will be trying to make some $$$.

if it will be possible to do a serious ads politics, it could be wonderful to get this option for newcomers which instead to get just limited action because have no RC and SP, they can add it just watching some ads.

that's also interesting idea.

Again: NO ADS = DEAD business. no social media can go far without attracting money.

Yours
Piotr

Thank you my friend to support my opinion, i think you should be @ned advisor in order to keep our community alive...:))

You're obsessed @intellihandling :)

I dont think he needs me and Im not sure why I would need or want to work together. What could I possibly achieve? I dont think it would help me if people would blame me for his mistakes :)

Cheers
Piotr

I thought it might be a good idea so u made a dpoll about however it seems nobody else wants ads and I can understand why. Here is the poll https://steemit.com/dpoll/@steemingmark/should-steemit-accept-adverts

Posted using Partiko Android

Maybe in your poll you did not explained how should be used for these ads. As i wrote, it could be just an options for newcomers, who have enough RC can always decide to keep Steemit as it is....

Yes good point well everyone has there opinions but really I suppose it's Steemit inc is dission do you think?

Most differently not if we had ads like "The Bitcoin Code
Ride The Wave of bitcoin And Earn a Guaranteed $13,000 In Exactly 24 Hours
" people will run away from #steemit

Dear my friend, if you go to Coinpot you can find hundreds of these shit ads, i mean selected ads which want to promote real service of course

I like the idea of watching ads to replenish RC's but maybe we can watch ads to earn Steem too. 🙏
