They know how to make money and it's in ads lol. Every platform is this way mainly because it's not profitable enough to just create a membership perk It helps to cover costs but things are also only getting more expensive including running servers. There's a reason why EVERY platform ends up running ads.
haha yeah, you're right. I guess the assumption that article was going under and that I continued was "No one knows how to make money on the internet without turning to ads"
Yep, for sure it's pretty crazy but it always comes back to ads which is why I've always questioned why hive has been so adverse to it. Legit its a content blockchain and from that content ads are going to be how revenue is generated outside of just normal investing. Hopefully we continue to see a shift in this direction here but also doing it in a smart and controlled manner.
