Should Blurt run Ads on the side and bottom of the Blog ?

in blurt •  3 years ago 

I really love ads on YouTube and actually purposely don\t turn them off as I know it supports creators to give free content. I love the system. Everyone can access free content and someone else pays and all you have to do is watch 2 seconds of an ad. The people I tend to watch are hardly earning millions from YouTube as I watch more spiritual people than 'influencers' and I would like them to earn.

The YouTube comparison is quite a turnoff. Just makes me think of censorship and how evil Google the company is. Literally Google is evil and horrible for society

I mean I like the idea of YouTube, if it wasn't so censored etc but this would be different because it's just the principle of allowing people to watch free content and create free content that advertisers pay for, really it's like that anyways as we are only earning here because richer people are buying the tokens to invest in the platform, it's not that different. The main thing I guess is cause it's decentralised advertisers would have to accept that we run the content not them so they cannot be exclusive with what's advertised on.

I with all respect and love gotta disagree.
Unfortunately it’s not just about that. It would change his place dramatically over time. I’ve worked in the industry and seen it first hand. The decentralized world is moving away from this kind of model. There is nothing decentralized about advertising. Once this door opens it overtime will change everything. I say this with all love and respect 👍 I only speak so harshly is my take because I’m part of the podcasting 2.0 and value for value movement and have close friends involved directly with the movement away from this ad model. It’s my opinion and I have much respect t for u 🙌. My frustration is at the model not u guys who feel differently 💜

thats ok we can discuss and debate different opinions without taking offence lol people are so careful now hah I mean hive is the the most censored social media platform probably that exists it's worse than fb so it's defo not just the advertising

Isn’t Blurt awesome… we can discuss ideas, disagree and still be friends without being censored or bullied. Blurt is the absolute best platform on the planet.

exactly I love the way people type now like just having an opinion comes with a two paragraph essay about people not taking offence.... this is how bad things have gotten out there haha Guess what it's fine to have an opinion thats different to someone else's :)

On another platform some whale doesn’t agree might die fire just for disagreeing.
I love the open discussion here 🙌

I mean it should just be normal, people shouldn't be trapped in the fear that they have to agree with the rich person or earn 0, I can't believe I even tolerated it as long as I did I guess there were just no other options of blockchain social but now there are as steemit is picking up again now and blurt is here :)

I love YouTube. It helps pay for my kids university.

I realise everything in life you regret what you didn't keep up ahaha I was earning a little from YouTube and then they changed the earning to 1000 subscribers and I gave up and then recently got back into it a bit. I had similar thing happen with nfts haha someone sold one of mine the other day as one of the first nfts but I never stuck at it at the time just keep up with everything lol

I created a bunch of NFTs on Wax…. They sold for a few dollars, then eventually those collectors sold for a lot more and I got nothing. So I don’t bother with NFTs anymore.

hahah I sold a few iPhone pics on b finance for a few dollars and just saw someone bought and resisted for 200 dollars lol I figure it increases the value of my work to a point on the things I am asking more for and also you do get a small percentage of each sale.

Yeah…. It’s great if you get a % on resales. Especially if you sell something for $1 and some collector sells it for $10 million. Ha ha …. But usually the Collectors make most of the money and artists get a few crumbs.

Everyone wants everything for free… they hate Ads, but they just want everything for Free. It’s like all these people who complain about Socialism in Canada and go see the doctor (for Free) once a week. Lol…
