Why its good Steemit didnt have ICO and has no Ads - Based on Case of MyCellium

If Steemit ever got ads, it would have to be opt-in, and the ad-viewer would receive a reward directly from the advertiser.

This is my understanding of the "attention economy".

It sounds tenable, although no one has pulled it off yet.

I love the way u think. Because. U already solved the problem for both sides of said discussion and it's free market as f

I agree that ads are a viable option if they are introduced opt-in. I think Ivan the Tech nailed it when he said the first cryptoplatform to directly connect content producers and advertisers will essentially kill YT and FB. I wrote a little piece on it here: From Nothing to Facebook Killer in Two Years

suppose someone were to fork steemit with ads that provide rewards to writers and viewers... could be done today? or would that violate the copyright of the original poster since they did not explicitly agree to the revenue generation?
