Exploring New Avenues for Content Recognition and Revenue

This is not an attempt to influence the team into selecting my group as curators. Others should have a chance as well, and I would be happy to take a break to focus on my own blog.

Although @chriddi, my first mentor, discourages posting twice a day, it's sometimes hard to hold back thoughts when motivation strikes.

Though this may seem like an unusual way to start my post in the suggestion club, it was necessary. Now, I can proceed with my suggestions. So, here we go.

I keep thinking... Why is so much content created daily? As a curator, I see hundreds of posts, and I sometimes feel bad for the authors who put in so much energy and effort. They take photos in advance and share their lives with us. They display photos of their families for the whole world to see. What's the rush? What's the need?

I can't shake off the thought that it's for the coins. Why can't we admit it openly? We don’t want it to be a job or a fixed income for people, but the monetization factor remains a fat reality.

SC01 and SC02 do an excellent and exhausting job of curating and upvoting. Then there are also the curation teams. But still, many authors are left out and don't receive the appreciation (coins) they deserve.

I keep thinking about how this content—this written text and photography—can be utilized. There's an incentive by @weisser-rabe with her book from keywords, which is heavily appreciated by the team. It makes me wonder: what if we had collaborators from magazines around the world? How would Steemit and its authors benefit from such ideas?

You won't find such diaries and content in any magazine. People have poured their souls into their work. There are so many wonderful authors. Sometimes, simple chores written in diaries make me want to read until the end. While we make efforts to advertise Steemit through LinkedIn, Google ads, Instagram, Twitter, and try to attract investors and authors, can't we also find a way to attract magazine editors?

I mean anything to publish this content in print, giving authors proper authorship on a professional level. Maybe we can create a separate community or team to filter such posts and then establish some kind of collaboration, which will benefit both the authors and the platform in terms of revenue.

I apologize in advance if my ideas don't make solid sense, but I can't shake off the thought of so much content and potential going to waste daily.

I am stopping here and would very much welcome your suggestions. Please share your ideas, even if they seem absurd. I am confident that we can do something about this, and I believe this thought has crossed many people’s minds—it certainly should have.

Edit: I have realised that I am talking about Repurposing content on a blockchain. Yes this could be the correct term. It can be advantageous for both the platform and the author. Just an idea if I may present. I am really not familiar with the technicalities, but I have come across something like this:

Here's how this can be done and how each party can benefit:

Smart Contracts:

We can use smart contracts to manage the distribution of content, ensuring that authors automatically receive payment whenever their content is accessed or used. Smart contracts can also handle revenue splits between the author, platform, and any other stakeholders.

For example I see posts from developers and the threaded communication that follows. This content is truly golden. You won't find such information and extensive debates anywhere else. Perhaps something along these lines.
