I was reading through the posts and comments about this new section both yesterday and today. My initial thought when I read in the comments that advertisers could pay for an ad there..... I had a hard time with. I am not one to let things go very easily, so I kept thinking about it. What would it need to work.
What If...
Part of what's wanted for this to grow as a success is to have some crypto acceptance. Acceptance and ease of spending.
So what if we approached a company, say Subway. We offer them our platform to advertise on, and what we ask for in return is the ability to spend SBD there.
Have them select a few locations in areas that have little clusters of Steemit users, and we get those locations set up with the ability to be paid in steem dollars.
It can be kept simple, even having it settled and closed in fiat daily. It not only starts to create that marketplace, it also will generate awareness in the areas it is available in.
Just a thought
