If you do, please treat it like a business.
Monetise the content.
Financially incentivise content that makes money to be published to the blockchain so you can display it your way.
The concept shouldn't be rocket science, but it is!!

I'm not good at getting sarcasm, but this feels like one. It is sarcasm, right? 😅
I want a simple alternative with no censorship and no monetary incentivization. It will be just a Hive interface, not the next gamechanger initiative 😛
I just read your other thread; well it doesn't look like a sarcasm. I disagree, I'm here to talk, not earn money. When money is involved in something, it changes its form. Games, social media, friendships; this is true for everything.
I don't want to build the next circlejerk. The only real cost in developing the new interface is the dev cost. Hosting cost for them is not high if you are not dumb enough to buy from first cloud provider you see like digitalocean.
I think blockchain based communities gets this wrong sometimes. Not everything should financially incetivized. Can there be someone doing that? Ofc there can; but that doesn't mean I have to play by that. It is unnecessarily complex.
I always stated I dislike some community posts even when I was working for Leo. It was also the main reason why I left; this is just like a big echo chamber. As a content value, random discord server with a hundred users has better content.
For those reasons, I think we should be building infrastracture without financial expectations. If that was something people needed, then people will notice and use it. If they use it, they will invest in it.
Atleast this is how I see it, not the other way around.
As long as you're funding it and not the DHF, fantastic.
I might go that route, but I wouldn't value it more than $50/d, and that would be the EXTREME case. The issue with non-tech people is they tend to overcomplicate stuff. On the other hand, this is my profession.
But realistically speaking, $10/d is enough for maintaining something like that. Server costs plus 5 hours of development time per month. It doesn't need leaderboard or the next hype. It is just what it is. And maintaining that is easy
But you can see the issue of front-ends getting money from the DHF, but not actually monetising the content, right?
How its not sustainable?
Yeah, I think the same. Hundreds of dollars per day is too much for that. I'm personally okay with DHF paying $10/d, but I get your point. That's why I said "I might", because I'm unsure of it either.
As an solid and real world case I can say show how open-source community works. If people act like this is a business, it would have business degree costs. But there are people out there writing code worth of thousands of dollars for free.
So, if I become too busy with something else, I'd probably make it open source and allow someone else to take over. I'd do it open-source, but I dislike the idea of money incentivized entities stealing my work or being influenced by it.
I have many ideas I haven't implemented for or shared with leofinance; saved for myself. So, if I can make it a reality, something people respect and know, then I can make it open-source with no issues.
Good luck with it mate, as a $HIVE stakeholder, I do hope it works out.
