I am 100% with you on this. You're not asking for perpetual income as @agorise is alluding to. You're asking for compensation each time your content is consumed. For instance, if there was a way that every time someone visited your content restarted the 7 day period, it would be a no-brainer...or if they had 7 days to upvote you to give you 'earnings,' that would be amazing. Lots of people don't like advertising...however, the only reason why TV or Radio is "Free" is because of advertising or it would have never caught on.
I have many YouTube channels. I know that my audience on YT is not on Hive and vice versa. For this reason, I started double posting-YouTube, then Hive. Sometimes in reverse. I know that after 7 days, my work is a loss on Hive; however, having earned thousands of dollars on YouTube on videos I posted over 5 years ago, I'm very much in favor of allowing an advertising option. As a matter of fact, I have considered creating my own front end where I could do videos on Hive, but I would allow the user to put up html code linking to an ad service for perpetual earnings. I use the word "perpetual" in the sense of perpetual "potential" earnings...meaning if no one ever visits my video in the future, I earn nothing; however, if I get 5 visits the first week, then 5 million hits just 2 weeks later, I get paid for the attention of the 5 million hits.
The "Charlie Bit My Finger" video has over 1B views. If they were restricted to only the first 7 days of views, they would have earned practically nothing. With advertisers, they've made MILLION$. The value is in attention. Advertisers pay to have it. On Hive, it's worth something because people are willing to buy hive to earn influence, otherwise Hive wouldn't be worth anything either...
