I've been able to hit 200 views numerous times. Total, across all frontends. Well over 200, numerous times.
My market/following will read my work on one of the top three frontends. What makes this difficult and even annoying is the fact I'd have to tell them at the start of the post to stop reading and click the link leading to inleo and read the post there.
And there's no way I'd do that because it's an inconvenience for the consumer. I could post from Inleo, but majority will be reading it elsewhere. I and several others did not build our brands on LEO products.
200 views means one qualifies for the smallest share possible. So there's that, too. For me, I could probably earn more by voting comments under my post.
Don't get me wrong though. Maybe some people do need more incentives. But I think for the most part, people are working and trying to get views, with incredible content that goes unnoticed, because there are no fucking consumers here! lol
Never, in the history of me, did I ever want to work for advertisers. Still don't. I also don't want to work for LEO stakeholders scooping up the leftovers. If I designed this system you folks are attempting, that money wouldn't go to stakeholders if content creators don't make the cut. The money would go into a pool and grow, waiting to be paid out to content creators who do qualify. However, seeing how it could potentially reward consumers with ad revenue clicks with me. Far more likely to sell that concept since consumers outnumber creators by a huge margin, and they spend the money anyway. If this system manages to attract them and keep them around, I'd be impressed.
Paying people to create content and attract views is wasteful if the consumer doesn't stick around.
Dunno man, this is still said with a mindset of creating hive content for hive (few) readers... But if someone shares their content on X, reddit, medium and facebook, using a link to inleo, those views you talk about - which you are correct, the content consumption on hive comes from peakd or ecency mainly and it is tiny - won't matter compared to the views one can get from audiences outside of hive.
About the second part of your comment I cannot really argue because it's a matter of opinion and mindset, which I fully respect and understand though I don't share.
In the end it all depends on how people look at the scenario displayed by inLeo. People can either argue for or against it, all I know is that I'm in for bringing in outside ad capital to the hive ecosystem and hopefully, hopefully, get a flywheel or snowball effect going.
Yeah. Link sharing content consumers would be helpful. Wrote about them once. That's almost three years old. This "mindset" has grown tired and is throwing in the towel. I didn't build a following on other platforms. Wasted my time, here.
It's good to see some are catching up to these ideas and at least trying. I get it and wish you all the best of luck.
I might revisit this in 6-12 months just to see how things are going.
