Hi, everyone! It's been a while since the Premium subscription started, and the number of users with it has been slowly increasing, whether after a free trial or through word of mouth. This brings us to the value of Premium beyond the orange check.
In this context:
- The Premium user signals support to Inleo and the $LEO economy, and is distinguished from other Hive users
- Beyond the clout or audience, Premium offers features that bring value even if all users were Premium
- Possible alliances with other Hive DApps and external projects
- API available for other UIs
Being a premium user means being an active member of Inleo, supporting the tokenomics, and enjoying the different perks and streams of income. Our premium is designed so that even if every Inleo user were premium, there would be intrinsic value in the form of features and other future utility.
The clout part, or check mark, is just the tip of the iceberg, and it is additions like enhanced curation and LeoAI that conform to the value.
We've discussed ideas about possible alliances with other Dapps and projects that could tap into our premium user base, offering discounts or extra access, including the check mark on their UIs as well. This would be costless for us and good marketing for them. 
So there it is: being premium would still be valuable even if every lion becomes a premium user.
