There is no money involved there, but people barely understand that they are the product.
No money? Many people make good money with Google Adsense by blogging and/or making videos (YouTube), or by livestreaming on Twitch. Some people make a living. A few people became millionaires on these platforms.
People do make money using Google's AdSense, but at what cost? And there is a cost for them to make money via Google's AdSense. The question then becomes: Is it a cost they are willing to pay? It's not always about "dollars and cents" when it comes to cost.
This varies from people to people. Many people make money with Google Adsense, while having fun, and they are also entertaining others, so practically they are not paying anything to earn money. Mostly this is the case with YouTube. They put a little time in it. But other than the recording (and often more or less editing) of the videos, they are not doing much else. The case is different with websites. People often put a lot of time into that, and they are often not even enjoying it. They are doing it simply only for the money.
Well, I am talking about people in general who are so called viewers.
Well those that are making money there have an incentive to keep those who don't make money but enjoy content to stay in that network, gosh how is this not obvious?
It is obvious there, but as soon as they land in our hive verse they see money (Do you ever see how much an youtube video earns ?), so they will definitely expect to earn something - may not be big, but a little incentive. And they are not creators, so they will not be able to create a lot - a short form would be nice to give them a little share, so that they too are happy.
and what has seeing the money got anyone? HIVES market cap is a joke, there are people on Youtube who have made more money than the entire liquid float so whats your point?
Do the viewers really pay attention to market cap ? Its not about who is making more money, its about getting the public onboard which is missing here.
Lol all shitcoiners pay attention to market cap
