Hey man.

Yeah I figured that out after asking. I looked at the entire payout, all the names.

So basically, this model, if someone on the outside wanted to start today in order to take advantage of this "100% share of ad revenue," they'd quickly find out all their efforts were for nothing, because there are hundreds if not thousands of middlemen in between the platform and the content creator taking their share first.

Or the content creator starting today can first buy in and stake some tokens. They then get a share, but they're also in debt. So they technically wouldn't be earning a dime of that ad revenue until they break even. That could take a very long time.

Unfortunately I'm not impressed with how this all looks. Certainly doesn't encourage me to use the platform. The stakeholders basically hoard the value of all the attention generated, stripping it from both the content creators and consumers at the same time, while standing on the sidelines.

Maybe I'm missing something but for an actual content creator, this model could potentially be the worst deal on the entire internet.

The day comes a content creator finally wants to pay themselves. What happens? Possibly unstake a few tokens, effectively giving themselves a lasting pay cut for the future.
