I am VERY curious and interested to hear where you feel dollar value to pay out content comes from if not ad revenue on a web3 chain/application?

Ad revenue does not have to mean risking privacy and data collection there are very real alternatives to creating anonymous profiles now that could serve as a web3 solution to privacy issues some feel web2 has.

A second layer would make sense IF it generated revenue to pay out the content and rewards. This is how shit works in the real world lol value and money doesn't just come out of thin air. It has to be extracted from somewhere especially when everyone still directly ties crypto value with USD value.
