Great feature for a social platform for sure but I'm wondering if can it do anything to the STEEM economy. Maybe in the future STEEM communities will grow to a point, where different services will pay for ads of their products. @steempeak - I have an idea... :D
They probably will. They need to figure out some way to derive revenue that doesn't involve selling steem.
We have promoted posts which live inside of topic feeds. We could move them to owned communities that CHOOSE to have them. It's their space it's their choice i suppose.
Yeah, of course I know about promoted option. I wonder if users could pay to community owners to promote their posts inside communities (so it would stay on top for 1 week for example). Community owners could decide how much of the payment would they would take and how much would be burned.
yep pretty much
I believe he's talking something more like AdSense and/or traditional advertising that generates fiat currency in order to provide revenue to the different front ends. You know as opposed to just selling the currency.
I'd guess that if a community starts generating 10's of thousands of pageviews a month AND is interested in something like this then we should be having that discussion. It's a communities space we're willing to listen and help out.
Adviews do need lots more VIEW traffic than we normally get on steem pages.
We have one main default page for communities... it's usually the FEED PAGE. (either trending or created) So those are the two main pages worth looking at for traffic.
