RE: Proposed Changes to Steem Economy
Paying users for content is a market differentiation for Steemit and is it's biggest selling feature to gain adoption. The revenue will come from the attention economy and advertising.
Bringing in ad revenues is the real solution that will add value for investors.
This is what I have been saying for a while now too. The content brings viewers, so it should be paid for by those who want exposure. The pool of rewards needs to be neutralised by income somehow, or it destroys the investment potential.
Ads are dying online.
Way better to allow for topical writing prizes, of which steem keeps some fraction. See: Rancher's article bounty system.
