Yeah it's supposed to be a stablecoin and will most likely function properly that way after conversion from hive->hbd in the next hardfork as only hbd->hive conversion has existed so far.
That's a good point, tbh, we do have bigger content creators on Hive and it has also caused a ruckus some times when all they do is just cross-post their content onto Hive and receive a lot of autovotes but don't really engage in other ways or value Hive to give back to the platform in more ways. I think these people are used to adrevenue and think Hive works the same way, but matter of a fact is that we have yet to take advantage of advertisement money. @leofinance does this in a way, where they take the ad revenue and buy back their own token so all holders get rewarded for it long term but I would definitely like to see some more options to reward the content creators based on views and clicks and maybe even their readers. The BAT model could easily be implemented onto Hive front-ends, maybe @peakd has some plans to do something with this in the near future. It would be important for bigger content creators like yourself who get a lot of views but the revenue generated from just the Hive rewardpool may not be that great at these prices.
This sounds very interesting, as a creator who used to earn from ad revenue but now music royalties is meeting up to it - it could definitely inspire those to make the leap over to the platform. I have liked the community and platform for years so for me it is less about the rewards and more about sharing art and things but I can’t front and say that I’m earning anything near an income as of yet from it.
but I can imagine those out there that are already struggling as a creative and earning NIL that need that do need that income so there is that factor too but HIVE is a perfect platform for this as a small time youtuber for example could make more from one post than they would from ad Rev from a video in a month so 📈❤️
