I agree if your content is great it will go viral but that's a lucky shot and most of you would like to deliver their content to more people to serve more.
I would actually great an option for Community members/Brands/Companies/Advertisers to create a sponsored posts. Let's say if you create a post then you can boost it to a specific TAGs on Steem platform.
Ad banners don't work today but sponsored post ads would be something that would look beautiful and help the Steem community to earn extra $ while staying clean. For example, 1 sponsored post per 4 posts 1/4 of the posts in your feed would be sponsored posts in future. 80/20 rule and who pays more for CPC or CPM will be on the top of the tags.
I would recommend creating a Business Canvas and Design Value Proposition to understand how valuable it really is and test it out on the market.
