"Right now the only "money" coming in is through investors. That cannot sustain itself long-term. " wow hha thank GOD u only got $28 off this comment from just 1 upvote from a lost a clueless @flyingmind lol come on flyingmind and @domenicthomas COME on....just because u guys arent maing enough money u wana ruin steemit with ads?!?!!?! who the hell would get the money!?!?! EVERYONE? HELL no! HELL NO! we shouldnt just let EVERY new minnow get a fuckin cut of ad money ona sytem WE built!
wtf this isnt some internet democracy where u all get free money no matter what!

this makes me mad! u cant just throw out these broad statements and ignore reality and expect people to take ur cause sriouslY! wtf

"I know there's this "promoted" section, but who sees it? I don't think it's working. "
wow who are you to say this? promoted posts Do work! whales go look at promoted section evause if people pay to prootea post it MUST be quality orr more likey it is!

OMG guys come on....u reallly dont get how steemit works do u ?!??!!?

"money" coming inisnt just froom "investors" its also steem that is mined and created! We have an interest rate! steem isnt just bitcoin plus reddit!

oh lordy lordy lawdd lordy u guys just wont ever stop will u u just will never actually go READ how steemit works and try to figure it out !

u just always have to act ike somehing is obvously just wrong with steemit...u guys think that we need ads so that u can make an extra buck?

wy would YOU get any of the ad money??? if we DID have ads I believe ONLY Whales and dolphins should get ANy of that money! and ONLY the whales who have invested the MOST money into steempower risking their money and SACRIICINg to be here (they could have bought ethereum and made alot more mney) should get that ad reveue! why woul u assume the ad revenue would be split up among everyone!?!?!

u will then be complainng about how u have to deal with ads for shit u dont like while getting NONE of the ad revenue!

so u see how IMPOSSIBLE it would be to ave adson steemit?? who would even be abe to autrpize that!?! and who would decide who gets to keep the ad revenue!?

companies can ALREADY sponsor users!!!! U could get sponsored if you were valuable enough! llook at @craig-grant he is basically sponsored by @genesismining how are his posts not advertising? they are! we have PLENTY of ads on steemit!

if we enable ads we will be no betterthan reddit!

AND if we enable ads we admit DEFEAT! the whole POINT f stemit i to NOT HAVE to have ads! sorry but we wont need ad unless the blockchain iddea doesnt pan out which it WILL and u can already promote your stories for money here we have a promote button AND if you just pay people p upvote your post o the top u can get ur post to the top! a paid ad canalready be on the front pge this way!

please dnt get offeended personally at my comment, i just have to explain this stuff to u guys! steem doesnt neeed ads, we make money via crypto currency and u need to undderstand that!

we DONT NEED any new investors if we all just REFUSED to sell our steem and SBD!
