Super interesting perspective. I never thought of the idea that advertisers could pay an individual to see their ad, instead of that ad money going to the host of the ad. That's kind of how Adsense works already, isn't it? Content creators can elect to have ads running before their video or on their website, and they get paid for it.

But when it comes to a social platform, the platform just pockets that money. So, that distribution of advertising money would go right to the content creator, instead of the platform host?

100% see it now.

I do see more short therm before blockchain technology is adopted by the masses, different categories of products. In this case, access to media and content. For example, Netflix, Hulu... your favorite print or online magazine subscription. All those things you pay a fee for to access, and/or pay for less ads. So, I almost see Social Media being something similar?

But! I am about to go check out steepshot and appics because I haven't looked into those yet!

Thanks for your thoughts, Hive account@soyrosa — really made me think!
