RE: How to Save Steemit - My Uninvited Opinion
Thanks for making this video. I also believe that advertisement is a underutilise tool to generate revenue.

Then again, lack of advertising is a unique selling point for the steem blockchain in general and Steemit in particular. I don't think I'm alone in saying that is Steemit introduced advertisements, I would instantly lose interest in it. Ads destroy the trust bond between a user and a platform. Suddenly I cannot feel part of this platform but I become a product, to be sold for money by the platform. I despise the idea. I gave a lot of personal data to this blockchain precisely because there was no commercial exploitation of my personal data. I would certainly not have done so if I had been just a product to be sold to advertisers.
That certainly doesn't solve the funding issue of Steemit.com. Then again, "two wrongs don't make a right". Steemit.com sits on over 45 Million STEEM and it is only their fault that these STEEM are not worth $450 million but rather $15 million
That is to say, the real solution to Steemit.com funding issue is increasing the value of STEEM
AMEN, I despise advertising as well for the exact same reason you mentioned.
No problem! I've really enjoyed hearing your perspective on the matter over the past few days.
