Guys, I'd like to know your thoughts on something.
Let me start off with a hypothetical.
One day you create a really high quality piece of content. It get's noticed by the Hive community and it does fairly well. Let's say... it earns $15 by time of payout - super, any of us would be happy with that.
Now, let's say one week later the content blows up across the internet. It becomes a meme, it gets tossed about on Tik Tok, on Facebook, on YouTube, etc.
Then people flood on over to Hive to check the OC and leave their likes and comments and maybe to check out some of the creator's other pieces of content.
- How does the creator profit from that?
Are tips really the only option? How often do you tip YouTube content you happen to stumble across and like? Yeah, not often. Tipping is no substitute.
Now I understand that with the way Hive was constructed there is no way to realistically have awards go to content that is older that 7 days. That is a very unfortunate limitation that I fear may hold Hive back from onboarding some heavy-hitting content creators.
What I suggest is that the various Hive interfaces (Ecency, Hive.blog, PEAKD) either work together or independently to establish partnership programs. To enable content creators who reach a certain threshold of activity, quality and audience size to monetize their content through an advertiser program or some other means.
That way legacy content (older than 7 days) has the potential to remain profitable for the user even after Hive rewards are distributed.
I think this is a good idea because users who produce lesser quality content can enjoy Hive rewards, while amazing creators can enjoy Hive rewards + advertiser revenue for as long as it is viral.
Just an idea.
What do you guys think?
Should PEAKD look into a partnership program for high value creators? I think so.
Thanks, take care.
Simon.
