RE: Growth Idea - How to Add Extra Utlity to SMTs
Sorry I think I mis-communicated my questions. I get the advertisers paying to advertise part and I know there will be scammers as with anything. I was just trying to see if there was a way to discourage them even if they had to pay to advertise. Also second question that I should have separated was, are we as regular users going to have to pay to view those communities? Sorry it makes more sense in my head than when I am asking. Let’s see if I can make an example make sense. Let’s say there was a community of musicians and I wanted to go check out their work, would that require a payment of some kind to enter that community with or without the advertisers. I hope that makes sense.
Don't worry. The best parallel I can draw to understand communities would be sub-reddits. Some you may have the request permission to post on some while other are completely open. I wouldn't be surprise to have private communities popping up too. But by default, I believe people will have their communities open as it is the best way to get engagement.
The advertising would work exactly like in the screenshot I took of the webdev subreddit.
I personally don't see the causal link between scammers and advertising opportunities, so I can't really comment on how to discourage those behavior.
Ok thank you for explaining further. That makes sense.
