Combine that with the fact, when a Paying Subscriber buys HP in order to tip/support (vote), all they're doing is transferring value from their bank account or credit card to their Hive account. That money is still their property. The Paying Subscriber in this scenario can support the content or personality of their choosing consistently at no cost. The Paying Subscriber is actually earning as well. They could cancel their subscription at any time and have more money in their wallet than they started with (dependent of token value of course). If you were to tip a youtube or twitch streamer, your money is gone forever. For the consumer, this is the best deal in the history of supporting the arts and entertainment industry. No middleman in sight either. Youtube, twitch, they all take a cut.
