Hopefully some of those top earners are at least disappointed with the amount of views their posts get and want to do things to bring those numbers up. I'm sure the money feels good but being on that list must feel awkward.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I will probably say ... dont blame the player blame the game ... there are no incetives in earning from views
And I'd probably say something like attracting thousands more interested and potential paying supporters would come with quite a few benefits. Perhaps there are no incentives earning from views, but there are plenty to be found when earning from viewers.
I give up...
Yea its in the interest of the stakeholders to spread the word, I agree :)
When people "spread the word" here, all they do is try to attract more content creators. Building a stadium, filling the stage with acts, then refusing to sell tickets and put butts in the seats. The role of the viewer/consumer/paying supporter is ignored 100% of the time.
And I've heard this story about there being no incentives to attract views. Then the "solution" offered is something like ad revenue. So they'll maybe place ads everywhere, not realizing that does nothing to attract viewers and acts more like a deterrent. "Good news consumers! We have ads now! So please come to our site and enjoy the content!" said nobody, ever.
Millions of people spend billions supporting content online each year. Millions can support content here with votes and watch their billions grow. Yet not one content creator here can see the value or feel incentivized to attract even one of those millions of people to their work? Generating buy pressure to outpace the sell pressure they create isn't appealing?
I'm a stakeholder. Will what I just said spread and click with people? Probably not. I've been pointing out the same problem and offering the same solution for nearly a decade, and now I give up.
