Interesting thoughts. I don't relish the idea f ads being shown on the platform as that's one of its draws, but if the revenue was going to the content creators, then it could compensate for the invasion of ads. It would be another way of monetizing the content.
I'm curious to see what any advertisers would say about buying placement on Steemit or Steem apps. Do you have any contacts that have been driving this?
Nothing specific, but I know there is interest.
