RE: Hive: The Solution For Paywalls
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
You surely don't believe that the newspapers would be earning most of their revenue from people paying 60¢ for each paper? Most money comes from the ads. People pay for cable television, and the draw was that there would be trade from advertisements to the subscriber paying for the content. But you still have ads in cable television. We see this has changed with Netfix, with no apparent advertisements at all. I expect that we will see a blending of ads, donations and paywalls.
Witnesses, those with a large stake in Hive can run front-ends, full-nodes and witness servers and they do it without ads, and without charging. Witnesses do win votes, however.

I expect ads will eventually come to Netflix. There is just too much money in it for them to refuse, especially as streaming competition increases.
Ads on community driven front ends will benefit the token holders as well as, likely in the future, the viewer of the ads.
At some point, entities are going to have to pay the people to view ads.
