RE: [SteemIt Poll] Does Anybody Browse The Promoted Tab? Would It Hurt To Have Advertising On The Front Page?
Occasionally I check the promoted tab. I agree with you here. ads arent that bad. If they help us get paid to make content that isnt churnalism and pootube rehashes, I will continue to read and post on an ad-addled Steemit
It's not effective/attractive for advertisers if people can just easily avoid anything in a 'promoted' category. So long as 'trending' doesnt become a sneaky way of saying 'promoted' Users would find that deceptive.
I think the plan to incorporate ads as banners on bottom of posts or something similar is alright. It might not end up a permanent thing. I'd rather there are realistic solutions to remonitizing the platform rather than our hopes n' dreams.
I wouldn't mind a google style shoving of ads here and there. I'm basically blind to them as of now anyway.
google would direct adds based on users posts. We would see more political adds, and health food adds. lol
I meant more along the lines of in the style of google. Everything can still be in house.
