I see nothing wrong with implementing ads on the 3Speak platform! Maybe some other ideas will come up along the way, but currently, getting healthy revenue is the way to go! I hope other platforms, frontends, or dapps in general will follow the example and base their growth on a business model where the value is sold and revenue is shared among participants...
Good to see you doing well, and hopefully, you will find more time for some nature walks, as they do clear our minds and bodies... On that note, I should follow this suggestion and do it more often too... hehehehe... I forgot what it looks like to create walk-and-talk videos, and I was doing those regularly in the past...
Oh, the evergreen content will become more and more valuable, as with your revenue-sharing model, creators can be paid AFTER the 7-day HIVE payout lock! Good move!
PS. I noticed a small bug on 3Speak... When there is an ad inside the video, the transcript on the right side calculates the ad time too, so it's not "synced" with the video (after the ad)...
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project! Check out our Reading Suggestions Posts!

We have a pretty diversified community here on Hive and I think there will be some people complaining about these ads. Glad they did not end up here in the comment section yet tho :D All the previous experiments relied on outside ad companies like Google as far as I know, and of course that's not generating high rewards for banner images on blog frontends. With video ads that's different but we still decided to not use these services because of kyc, crypto-ban and more. I hope that this experiment will result in a success story and advertisers buying Hive on the open market. Also that the onboarding of creators, viewers and on the long-run investors can help us as well of course.
About the walk-and-talks: Maybe let us do some exercise together! Walk-and-talks could also be shorts, and the remix feature is pretty cool for these scenarios. If I say something stupid, you can record a response on the go. It is a fairly new feature but worth a try :P And remember that you will have it much easier to go out than me. Your December looks pretty warm haha
Thanks for pointing out the bug! I will fix that asap :)
You can check out some feedback about this on our last Liotes mission post... check them out here...
All I can see is a healthy comment section! Yaay! 😃
Hmmm... I will have to explore that part... Total noob in shorts and everything connected with them...
The transcript vs ad duration issue is fixed now :)
