Sometimes I believe that the DApps don´t want bring value to Hive. Why @peakd, @ecency, @liketu, @keychain does not include some ads on the UIs? They can charge directly $HBD or use ads systems like Adsense, the money they earn by that is money that they don´t need to ask to the DHF or is Hive that they don´t will be dropping in CEXs for FIAT.

Not sure why you're tagging, but since you did, I will entertain!
We have a net long position on Hive which we purchased with our own money and have never asked for anything from the DHF.
We have reduced our position from our original allocation in light of market volatility risk, but it is only to build a hedging/larger position, of which, we are still overwhelmingly net long.
Advertising vendors do not tend to work with crypto platforms. They often need a certain level of KYC compliance which we simply cannot comply with. Also, none of our platforms are at a scale which would interest the most popular/best ad vendors.
Trying to monetize when you have less than 10k users on any given platform yields quite little return, especially given the demographic matters too. Most ad vendors bid the highest on users from western countries, but the largest part of Hive traffic are from LATAM countries.
I think he's only asking from a place of genuinety and nothing malicious. You've put it rightly, and just like I told him, it's quite a complicated issue as well.
As for the DHF, I'm sure if liketu shoots for funding, it'll get it.
I have always wanted ads too, at least they'll bring back some revenue, but unfortunately I think it's complicated and there's no one way to approach that topic.. Also Leofinance has tried it and it hasn't worked, maybe that's why no one is so keen on it..
Well, Leofinance is Trying ti bring it Back again. But maybe they haveto advertise them as a social network and not as a crypto web3 plataform
I would be lying to say I know what's best, but I know that when done in a wise way, bringing ads to the hive ends would work. I'd wait to see how Leofinance would implement it again
