Get paid for watching videos is a great marketing slogan
@agorise What you think:
Seeder-bot will leave a comment under each new video with similar content: Get paid for watching. Winners: see beneficiaries of this comment
The first nine people who watched entire video (or uploaded the most KB within the first hour) will receive rewards from the comment (10% each) through the beneficiary system, remaining 10% will go to server owner
theta tried this and they ended up making it a closed system so the credits you earn can't be cashed out, only "verified creators" could convert to cash
sounds familiar
🥓
I think trying to monetize every little thing just to get people to use a product is kinda slimy. It's like we're desperate or something. That's just my personal opinion of course.
Look at twitter for example. People don't earn anything over there to post content, comment, reply, retweet videos and so on. Twitter became popular thru initial marketing and freedom of speech. It grew due to people sharing links to their favorite content. None of those millions of users have earned 1 cent for doing that for twitter.
Over the years, I have focused our products on UX, and making them as discoverable, and accessible to as many people across a multitude of networks as possible (content syndication). That "reach" is what platforms like Youtube will never offer. They want you in their walled garden, and get the people to freely enslave themselves to it.
okay, at the moment there is no point in discussing such ideas, we will see after a year how it all works. If the project does not finance itself then we can return to this or other ideas. The worst idea would be funding from the Blurt DAO, as it would only worsen the already bad financial situation of this blockchain. DAO might be good for those blockchains that don't have a shared reward pool, but reward pool + DAO is way too inflationary
I've never said that we should pay for watching or use standard reward pool. Nova days 4K is very popular and 8K might be soon. It means that a lot of data should be on storage even if each person will use 20GB on own drive to upload there will be not much videos. I would like to reward that with ex. additional token on in blurt blockchain. Also you have to use quite a lot of bandwidth to support p2p network. Impossible with ex. mobile devices. So I see that more less the same like old torrent trackers worked. Each person has calculated ratio in/out. If difference is too big you can buy additional transfer on blurt. So some people will be receiving token because of positive ratio, same will need to buy because of negative. Of course it's peertube and it's decentralized so there will be blurt users and outside of our community. So it will be still possble to watch video but probably you will have less seeders. That is more less what I'm proposing. Still we should think what kind of data should go to blockchain and what kind of format. Pools, queries, offers? probably not important now to show the idea.
Also I think contents creators should have % because without them seeders will be not able to earn.
at the moment the most important thing is to start the project
Sure. That can be great begining of big project
i think this would work better if the person who posts the video can donate an adjustable amount of blurt, to be distributed to viewers as incentive
that way it doesn't interfere with the "reward-pool"
Paying people to watch your video? That's almost as bad imo as asking viewers all the time to “Please Like, Comment, Subscribe, Share, and Click the bell icon”.
If the Creator is posting content of value, he/she will earn more. Paying people to watch you just seems like a cry for help to me.
yeah, well, "get paid to watch" was the slogan on theta
and people pay to promote vids all the time
might as well make it transparent
i'd certainly be willing to set a bounty for my own vids
paying viewers makes more sense than paying the platform to promote vids
it's pretty tough to cultivate an audience from scratch
especially if you're not commenting on "the current thing"
or something from "pop-culture"
