Arts, entertainment, information. People pay for these things nowadays. Content is a product. Notice the lack of actual consumers around here? That's us leaving all those seats empty. Yet here they can buy that ticket, support the game, still have their money, and watch it slowly grow. It's genius.
And when you have more fans than baseball players, all those other shops in the stadium thrive as well.
Exactly, it is very normal to pay for tickets, food and drinks. There are so many empty seats it's crazy. Selling seats one by one will take for ever, best way to sell seats is having a good usefull Tool people can use and then market that.
Hive has so so much potential, but all these dapps and games are stuck here on Hive and rely only on Hive community.
If Splinterlands would have sold tickets only on Hive, there would be no Splinterlands now.
Sure. But each content creator attracting outside interest can be its own ballpark. Now you have a league. HP is support. HBD handles the merch. Global market. Enough fans at your ballpark and one can line up their own sponsorship deals.
Man. If only people actually wanted to play ball here. Could be a lot of fun...
