Today I want to talk about the community topic.
At the moment it is hard for someone that wants to build a community from scratch, because there is no way for return.
An example.
A community cost 3 Hive, a Tribe way more. If you invite people and promote this community, you get nothing back in the end.
It was the same with front ends back in the day on St**m, there was no way to earn something.
People hate to share little past of posting rewards. I think it was something between 1%-5%.
I remember posts, people made bad advertisements about it. Like, save the 5%.
But that is the wrong way to do it.
If the community wallet would earn 0,5% of posting rewards, it would be close to nothing for 1 user. But it would be worth it to grow the community and advertise it.
It can be if the community big enough for a full-time job. So Hive would reward building in this case.
There can also be micro jobs like community managers paid with it or contests.
Besides this, little community can test first, save rewards and buy up later a Tribe with its own token.
It would be in general a better system, but it also depends on the mindset of users.
Builder needs a way to get rewarded onchain. Because this is a trustless way to build something.
Conclusion:
2 Things, first it would be a good thing to offer creators an easy way to monetize and
Second:
It would be a super cool way to market Hive in the world. On Facebook or whatever.
There are so many communities on WEB 2 that earn with sponsored posts, one reason the Internet is so commercial. This would be a way by nature to become bigger and grow and allow people to grind up their communities.
From scratch to Tribe to cool app.
What do you think?

Great idea! How do you propose implementing it?
It could be a Layer 1 change (add community as a default beneficiary).
It could also be done through each front-end (I think), because the editor for the front-end can modify the beneficiaries (i.e. PeakD and ecency could do this on their own).
Any other ways to get it done?
I would do it super simple.
Create a community on hive and implement a mechanic to tax the poster with 0,5% on rewards for example or higher/ lower. Should be dynamic for the community creator. from 0 to 3% for example. Should be easy to do.
So if someone invites people that generate good content, the onboard becomes a part of rewards. A positive cycle can begin.
Would be the easiest solution.
More complex but maybe cooler would be a dynamic reward share.
like from 100Hive rewards to 1000 Hive rewards 2% from 1000 to 5000 1% and so on.
So it would become cheaper as more users are there. And the community creator would have a reason to do the best for the community. Because it pays the bills :P
So yes I would say layer 1 would be the best thing.
Or if it should be done layer 2, simply place a button with "donation" that beneficiaries the community wallet, if post in that community.
