We all hate seeing ads (most of the time)... we see them in our IG and FB feeds, on youtube videos, etc.
I've always hated seeing ads... I've been using an adblocker for years now and I haven't watched any television in years as well because even the act of fast forwarding through commercials annoys me.
Companies like FB and others who middle-man advertisements to us are soaking up cash like crazy.
They are pulling in ridiculous amounts of ad revenue based on their users attention.
What's more... The users, advertisers and content creators are all getting ripped off in this deal...
Users aren't rewarded for attention
Advertisers have to answer to a select few middlemen and pay high rates
Content creators aren't rewarded from the platform for all this attention... they have to reward themselves by creating their own economic models through products, sponsorships, etc.
If we changed this system then everyone could win..
Well, everyone except the Facebooks of the world.
They've had their turn to make billions on the hard work of others. Time we take that power back and create a decentralized distribution system through platforms like Steem and BAT!!
