There are some very interesting experimental economies developing on the blockchain that are directed to reward people who contribute, shape, and participate in new platforms. The latest evolution in technology is to provide a platform that is not only free to use, but also can generate revenue for their users and even provide government power from the platform to token holders.
Who benefits? Who pays?
"Free" economies of technology services are subject to fees. As we have learned from Facebook and Google - our online behavior patterns can be traced and used to create anonymous profiles to direct advertisements and messages. When you make videos about 80s cartoons, there are many friends in their 30s who love animation; You get advertisements on your digital news site about animated products; In some cases, you talk about yogurt, and it looks like the app is listening because next time you open Facebook, you see a yogurt ad. Famous, if you don't pay for the product, you are the product. If you don't pay, you are given leverage to make other people pay.
Steem, and especially Steemit is a brilliant idea. Steemit is a decentralized media platform. This provides a way for writers and curators to monetize their content and also make decisions about protocol governance. I have experienced Steemit to be a very positive environment (which rarely happens on the public web). Crystal Rose and I agreed yesterday that Steemit, in our experience, is the least controlled platform on the web.
EOS is Dan Larimer's 3rd big blockchain protocol and the most ambitious. The aim of EOS is to become a blockchain for businesses.
This allows users to build dApps and interact with the dApps state using EOS tokens at stake for resource reserves, therefore there are no direct transaction costs.
And there are many other prokoler developers who use the blockchain to pay users.
