There are potentially millions of content creators in this world and potentially hundreds of millions, if not billions of content consumers in this world. There are far fewer investors in this world and even fewer crypto investors. So rather than attempting to cater to the tiniest market, I feel it's wise to have a look at the largest market.

Most of the issues can be solved by simply embracing those hundreds of millions of content consumers. I can't see too many investors wanting to support content if all that does is shrink their ROI, especially in crypto.

Working for likes would be like wasting a day on Facebook.

Content consumers can become the investors this platform wants. Millions of people willing to buy tokens and stake them so they can support content forever without ever throwing their money away, PLUS they get to sit back, have fun, and get paid to be entertained. That is the market this platform needs to tap into. Consumers already spent billions annually on things like subscriptions, handing out tips or donations, and purchasing individual units. Every time they do that, they throw their money away... but here, this platform, even as it stands today, offers the consumer a far better deal. Tap into that market and watch the value of the token climb. The fact is, the consumer spends the money anyway. So we need to find ways to attract that money, here.

Purchasing tokens and pushing a like button. Anyone can do that. Start throwing in all these complexities and percentages and all you'll get are a tiny handful of crypto investors.

This doesn't need to be a 'social media' platform. Focus on content production and consumption, treat it like the entertainment industry. If there were millions of dedicated paying consumers with staked tokens willing to vote, you're not going to have a tiny handful of accounts reaching trending consistently. Content will rise and fall and rise and fall as new content and new consumers contribute.

That consumer (curator), millions of them, is the missing piece of the puzzle. Create a scenario within your mind. Add in everything we have now, then add in those missing dedicated consumers. Simply market this platform to those consumers. It's not every day someone walks past a busker on the street and gets handed a quarter just for being there. I don't know of any books or magazines that have coins taped to each page. I would never tip someone if I knew I could spend what I spend on tips in a year, buy crypto, still tip, and get a return on that investment, rather than throwing my money away. Consumers now simply do not know of the opportunities and benefits this platform has to offer them. They're stuck in the old ways, not realizing there's a new way.
