I'll tag @khaleelkazi here if he can clearfy further, as yes I find your points valid.
Just something to add is, imagin if this add thing didnt existied, as it was till now. Users get just the incetive from people curating their content and earning tokens from that... this revenue can be an aditional incetive for them to keep those tokens and bring in more revenue....

For sure the dude deserves to hear and might have something to add or adjust. I'm not knocking anyone down. Just the model seems a bit out of whack.
People need to know stacking tokens isn't something your typical content creator wants to be doing. I realize on Hive that's like saying all the swear words in one sentence but, it's true. They want to monetize their work and pay their bills, just like anyone else in the workforce.
Stacking tokens and acquiring perks is more suited to consumers. They want more bang for their buck. So in this scenario, they buy the tokens to support the work. They get a share of the ad revenue with this model. They turn around and use that to support content creators they came to see and support. Support levels grow naturally due to all these systems in place. Content creator can cash out, and some of that money goes back into creating better content for the consumer, incentivizing them to buy and hold more.
Still, the content creator would want a share of the ad revenue as well. They get the ball rolling in this attention economy. Screw them over, and they go someplace else.
Just want to add, this scenario where the consumer is receiving ad revenue in this fashion, then paying it forward by supporting content with votes; in a sense the content creator is receiving that ad revenue indirectly from the consumer, over time. Not a bad thing at all... just different.
