ok. I think ecency itself needs a revenue stream. I dont see how the AI will be hive specific and there are already other cool projects out you can give hardware for $ that work on scale for AI ( crypto too).

It will be a nice project for sure for Hive.

IMO it would be worth to build 2 things for you exclusive.

First could be ( hive scale) a backend for advertisers that lists all platforms and they can buy adspace ( huge market with traffic).

Second could be the same but for ecency only. I know people say " but people have adblock".

Well, it could be a sponsored post that shows up too. A lot of workarounds.

Or something else. I did write a longer post about that years ago. Another thing could be some " pay per lead / per sale / per click" engine for advertisers for hive front ends. And the best thing, it could scale beyond hive but paid with HBD for example.

Gives HBD a real usecase + revenue for ecency. And someone always will book the adspace, is not like is worth 0. Quality comes with time.

And this way, imagine how you could change the content algo. Upvotes and downvotes could have 0 influence.

btw some onpage shit you need to change. IF you check your platform you recommend content in footer / sidebar. Sometimes the content is years old. This should be relevant for time spend max + user experience increase.

I think i could wirte a 50 page audit what you could do to make it more user/ Seo friendly
