For example, let's say a user wants to create a Netflix-type service where users upload large files and charge a monthly subscription for unlimited viewing. They build their platform of choice with our front end and take payment using their newly-created token. That's obviously an oversimplified version of what we're trying to do, but you get the idea.
Literally been talking about doing this in steemspeak for the last two weeks - been planning it for months 🤣🤣- the consensus I got from a few users was it was a non-starter as other people have attempted similar things on Steem - the idea being that the film Community is not big enough to support such an Endeavor here. It's an interesting concept to say the least. One that I'll continue to explore.
What’s the famous quote by Henry Ford? “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”
I have always said that when you create anything on steemit, you should consider more than just the steemit community. Assume that whatever content or platform you want to create will be available to the greater internet as a whole.
As I see it, the biggest choke point stopping people from using steemit is that accounts must be manually verified or they must be paid for. Once those problems are solved then I think we’ll see the actual number of users explode.
