Considering I’ve still never paid a subscription fee to watch anybody’s content… I probably never will. If I had unlimited money I’d have a totally different opinion though. I just don’t think it is responsible for me to pay for content when I need to pay for things like food, gas, and electricity.
I know there are many who are more than happy to spend their cash/crypto on their favorite content creators. I’m sure feels good supporting those who provide you entertainment and information. Plus getting access to hidden content is a big bonus.
Sucks there isn’t really a way to lock your Hive content behind a paywall. I’ve seen this feature on Liketu, but I’ve never used it and don’t really know how it works. Would be nice if PeakD had a filter (similar to NSFW) that made a post locked until the reader has subscribed for a monthly fee.
I love how well the tipping feature and recurring transfers work. Both are very important features that are somehow heavily underused. Everyone knows what an upvote is though.
I use the tipping feature mostly for good posts that I find outside of the reward window. I wish this was more commonplace here on HIVE.
That is a perfect use of tips.
I very much appreciate the fact that PeakD at least alerts people that tipping is the best thing to do after a post has already paid out.
I think once there are more users and the search function improves a bit more, then tipping will become much more popular.
