Please, somebody get ad revenue up and running.
Investors will find successful projects and we are wasting our greatest selling point. A community of content creators. Generating monthly revenue to buy hive back from the markets adds instant buy pressure which will encourage others to join when they see how the token will be funded going forward.
The current business plan where all the money flows out of the system will turn away any serious investors but if we generated more demand for hive and external sources of revenue to increase the price it would be a lot more tempting to invest and hold the token.Apps will do this in the long term but we need solutions for right now.
Also 13 weeks is pointless and needs to be at most 4 weeks for powerdown.
A higher token price will lead to more interest, more users and more exposure which will in turn lead to even more buy pressure and a higher token price. At the moment we are in a negative circle and ad revenue is the best and fastest solution to start turning it into a positive cycle.
I mentioned getting ads setup on hive.blog a while back but blocktrades was not interested, though he did say someone else was free to set that up. The overall tone was that the work/costs were not worth the likely projected benefits...
Hasn't stopped LEO though.
Didn't stinc rake in thousands of dollars from add revenue? O yeah people on the top dismiss it for ideological reasons. If people don't want adds they can just use an add blocker or you can build a front-end where you can opt out.
All social media sites derive their market value by add placement. It's just that simple.
