peakd has had adrevenue running for a while now, it is still nothing according to them and that's after all the extra traffic posh is creating

Isn't that opt-in? Because I've seen 0 ads on peakd.

i don't understand how people think we should just remove inflation rewards when it's the one thing that makes this blockchain unique from the 2150 others instead of putting in some effort to curate better both up and down

Because it isn't unique anymore. Its uniqueness was in the past and we are clutching to this it is unique narrative.

You can get paid on X, you can get paid on medium, you can have a substack and get paid there, you can get paid on Patreon, subscribestar and so on. And all of these, accomplishes this better than Hive's reward pool.

Reward pool is just a circlejerk at the expense of people who are putting money into this chain.
