Nowhere else does a consumer get paid to be entertained. I'm not surprised you don't know this, honestly. People consume content all the time and often pay for it in the form subscriptions, individual unit sales, donations, etc. Simply google something like "how much does the music industry generate in a year" then you'll see where the money comes from. I'm sure you're aware people purchase things like magazines, books, newspapers, etc. If you didn't know that, take my word for it.
When you look at something like a Youtube video. You'll see one video and thousands of views. So that's ONE creator, and thousands of consumers. If you weren't aware of this, simply head on over to Youtube and you'll see.
Sometimes you might come across what is known as a streamer. For educational purposes, I suggest you watch a few streams. You'll not only see someone producing content but at the same time you'll hear them say, "Thank you for the donation," constantly. The money flows in as the creator creates.
Where do these funds come from? Again, the millions of people worldwide who spend their money on these things, to the tune of billions of dollars annually.
Everything started out as nothing and became something eventually. Maybe you see this platform as nothing now, but it doesn't need to remain that way.
People struggle with finding ways to make crypto go mainstream. Tapping into that consumer market that already exists is by far the easiest way. There are far more content consumers on this planet than there are investors. I'm sure consumers in this context outnumber investors 10000 to 1 at least.
So again, the selling point is the fact the CONSUMER gets paid to BE entertained, rather than throwing their money away, like they do everywhere else, to the tune of billions annually. Buy pressure on the token, consumer/curation rewards, and the fact they can have their money back if they decide this isn't for them is an easy sell, provided we can work on aligning the planets. Yes. It takes work.
Lol your argument is idiotic and devoid of any facts only your "thoughts" on "facts" that are completely wrong.
Consumers don't get paid, investors do hence the pay to play model it is based on which you probably didn't know since you clearly have an IQ not disimilar to an ant.
Further all the basis on the "points" you make are likening different things and drawing false comparisons, it's common for people with your level of intellect to jump to such things when you have a weak argument and are trying to win regardless of the facts, This specific "wording" is called a False equivalence, a logical fallacy popular with politicians and other mass manipulators, Scammers, Thieves etc
The different things you compare are well established sites with global use which upon creation had little amount of users or many who thought they would succeed.
On probably your most empty-headed statement (kind of hard to tell but had to pick one) on the number of content creators,
YouTube alone have 50 million video makers easily artists and bloggers outnumber these 10 to 1 being very Conservative (I personally would think its closer to 50 to 1 more with Corona world but for a fair argument will leave the lowest possible) would make 500 million content creators,
Having 1% of these on any platform bringing 1000(this being the number anactive content creator would have after 1/2 years) monthly active users each would amount to 5 billion active monthly or about 15 times the active users of Twitter.
2 year old content creator data so estimations postulated are lower than actual prob 10%min -40%max higher.

You're not able to differentiate from old concepts and new concepts. You're not able to see how in this context, the consumer BECOMES the investor.
Not every content creator is successful. Much like how not every book becomes a best seller. More fail than succeed. The industry still makes billions.
I ignore lines like this, your laughing, etc. It's not my fault you think I'm an idiot.
This conversation is over. It's a post about bullies and I don't feel like dealing with another one.
Lol
It's a new concept because you thought it up? Like all the misfacts you thought up to try and argue a point only you think, very conceded why to think and live your life.
Yes I said your level of intellect because of your veiled comments you constantly throw around that are very passive aggressive and unbecoming of any human.
Have a nice day.
