RE: Growth Idea - How to Add Extra Utlity to SMTs
I'm strictly talking about steemit.com with it's communities (like sub-reddits). Being able to advertise on other websites would be much more tricky.
Declined payout could be an option. But there could be a virtuous cycle in letting payout happen since the advertiser may double down on ad spent if he is able to sell the product he's looking for sell.
That is a great idea. But I don't think Steemit will ever follow a reddit like model. It will most likely follow a Quora like model without any specific community. If it intended to be like Reddit or stack exchange, (where there is separate communities) it would have started adding features like that. It's over a year since steem launched.
Steemit doesn't allow non sourced and copy pasted content even if that contents original owner permits it. I think it is not practical to compare it to reddit where people post whatever they wish. It is not like Steemit doesn't want to allow it, they can't allow it.
If they allowed copy pasted content, the copyright police would put them in great legal trouble. They aren't coming because steemit isn't popular now. Only 30000 people use it every day. Copyrighters go after only the big ones. You will see Hollywood go after YouTube but not Vimeo (which is a spec compared to YouTube).
