RE: How Much Have You Spent on Entertainment in Your Lifetime?
I agree in terms of the long term vision. It's like we can all see the mountain in the distance we want to get to,(Well most of us, there is that camp that thinks this BC shouldn't be about content :/) but I think it's just a matter of how do we get there.
There's some inescapable hurdles we have to get over like
- People not knowing anything about crypto.
- People having never heard of Steem(No Marketing)
- Across the board poor user experience on applications
- etc
I think if I could magically inject what Steem is and how it works to the world, the internet would explode and everyone would want to be here.
Also, I think better incorporated donations would be good for the interfaces here. Something like this
I think it just gives people more options and I think it would be more popular for new users especially as this place starts to scale. Steem Power will get more and more scarce and expensive, and it take a lot of money to have an upvote worth say $1. But it's no big deal to just give someone you really like a dollar. To have a $1 upvote here would cost something like $17k. When we start to onboard the masses, most don't have that much to invest and I think donations(on content) gives them more options to reward what they want to reward. In my ideal scenario, there would be an SMT or something like that that rewards people for giving donations as well.
People don't really care about how Youtube works or pays, as content consumers. Many people drive cars and have no clue what fuel injection means. There's a lot to this place that doesn't really need to be explained, it just needs to work, like a car.
17K is a lot of money, but less than what you'd spend in a lifetime on entertainment.
Having the option to tip on top of everything isn't a bad idea, we already know it helps content producers, and combined with everything STEEM can offer, that would only make the place even more appealing. People like options, this I know. The more, the merrier.
I should probably add: Not making it about content at all would be a fine way to lose out on those billions people spend annually on entertainment. I hope people don't think 'content' means only blog posts on Steemit. STEEM is so much more and covers all forms of media. The online magazine or 'blog' part is just that.. a part.
Well...we can already tip... This will be a standard tip but the tipper can make it whatever they want.
