In simple words we need proper smart contracts and tokens. Its been now 8 years since the start of this chain and this tool is not ready yet.
In wider context we need more tools to give content creators and influensers to monetize their audiance ... smart contracts and tokens are just one tool... but when we give the options then projects and users will experiment, build, explore and eventualy something will click ... hive engine has given us a glipmse of what is possible ...
Absolutely. The problem is that many frontends dont care about adding anything that will allow for additional content monetization because its ultimately the stake holders that decide who gets DHF funding so additional monetization wouldnt benefit them in any way. Their web2 presence is basically nonexistant so they dont even have a way to promote it. All while we all know that Hive as is cannot support a content creator economy.
