THIS. STEEM ecosystem needs capital that comes with advertisers and ecommerce in general. You can not relay only on people that believe in steem and are willing to invest their hard-earned money.
We have a great crypto-focused community here, let crypto business pay for promoting their content/ads here. But not in "promoted" tab where no one goes but on the trending page - like one "sponsored" post on the top. I wrote about it like 2 years ago but for some reason steem inc. just don't want money.
!tipuvote 2Check out https://www.livecoinwatch.com - after establishing a very good service they added small ads and now they're doing great.
This ^^ - please
This is a good idea. Earn.com is an example of a similar service.
Not on trending either. We need opt-in advertising on posts. Forget advertising to authenticated users, unauthenticated users and established top content providers are top untapped resources.
