I think it's safe to admit now I hated being that one guy not buying into the CUB hype. DEFI in general at the time was all hype, in my eyes. It was shiny and people were blinded by the light. Rather than confidence, I observed boasting. I always seem to study the people rather than the projects in order to get a feel for something, especially if I don't fully understand it. They're the ones providing the information I need to use in order to learn.
Never bashed it. Wished everyone luck and stayed on the sidelines.
As for this new listing being a boost for LEO. I can see how it could be a boost for the token. For the products though, I don't see how it'll be a boost. In general this would attract interest in the token from people interested in the superficial elements of tokens. And we all know there's a lot of that happening in crypto.
I'm sure some will find the entrance and follow the trail of breadcrumbs to LEO products. Once they arrive it's unlikely they'll be something like a content creator, for instance.
More likely to be a content consumer however the incentives don't line up. Since they're profit driven they'll most likely take the road of delegations, auto votes, and so on. Basically earning consumer perks but at the same time being paid to not be around. And that's unfortunate since the ad revenue element would see a boost if those eyes were actually present. That's why quite a few weeks ago I mentioned to you at least it would be wise to "market" that ad revenue to consumers as well, since paying supporters with staked tokens browsing and upvoting content earn a share of that ad revenue. It's more like "profit sharing" than ad revenue. That consumer role is the most important but it's also the most neglected. Looking around Hive is all the proof one needs to back up that claim.
Other than that it's still good news. It's still progress and I certainly don't frown upon these new developments. It's actually nice to see.
