@ats-david this is an amzing post hence you earned 100% upvote and a solid follow from me. I agree 100% that we should think strategically on how to add revenue options to steemit in order not to depend on new sign ups AKA Pyramid or Ponzi scheme.
External revenue like advertising will be the best option however it has to be done right in order not to destroy the concept of steemit. Moreover , companies will have interest to advertise in our platform when we reach 1M + active users which is achievable if there is investment in promoting steemit around the world and elimination of sign up waiting time.
Very good idea @ats-david which should be done with design thinking startegy and implemented .

100% agree. For Steem to succeed in the long run, there has to be a revenue stream from somewhere.
Great, I agree. Win Win for all.
And, if we really want to keep comparing ourselves to facebook.. well.. facebook has ads.. facebook makes money... facebook distributes value to stakeholders...
Steemit needs ads.
Yes.
No it's not. Facebook has investors and businesses/advertisers that all make money. So far, we have basically heard that revenue generation around here isn't a good idea or isn't necessary.
This place won't even kill Medium, 4chan, or Reddit, let alone Facebook.
Exactly... plus if Steemit were to implement this, we would truly be the first - that I know of - decentralized revenue producing organization on the planet.
until then... we're a neat toy, admittedly really cool toy. But as such, it will only be toy money compared to facebook.
I have nothing against ads but hopefully this will still be avoided
if ads come in here the other social media shall die
IMHO
It definitely will lead to that !
This is a blockchain. The data is readily available.
Agreed
Adds can be added smartly as indicated by @ats-david in this post ...I wonder if those responsible will see this post and at least start the discussion
We second that this post was very informative. It discusses some very good ideas in terms of Advertising on Steemit and ALL Steem Powered Applications. We just followed and upvoted with 100% Steem Power.
I agree, good point.
