RE: Can Steemit democratize the $65B publishing industry?

in #steemit8 years ago

I used to be on Medium, running a publication there and there was a lot of talk about how to monetize Medium. It appears that Steemit is the solution. I think your idea will work if it follows this method: have an area clearly marked as "sponsored' and this is where people will curate the best sponsored stories. They will be paid for their curation efforts, so non-writers can make money too. Having the sponsored area in one place will make it so that our main feed will not be clogged up by ads. I would hope that an entirely new sponsored stream, which is voluntarily entered, would spring up, thereby never dirtying up the news and other great topics written by users.
