I like this:

My belief is that crypto is bringing a radical shift to that landscape.

It remionds me of the Beattles song? "Talkling about a revolution..."

We are in a revolution. You are right that amongst those who understand the issue of content platform owners and content makers and content users, there is a grossly disparate distribution of earnings from both content and attention to content, with the platform owners seemingly reaping the lions share of the earnings. I agree we are in the early days of this change to the "attention economy" and a redistribution of earnings from content platform owners to content producers as you point out. BAT certainly is a great example of this redistribution movement, as are decentralized platforms like Hive. While some concerns remain for content producers in these decentralized platforms, economic exclusion is assured in centralized platforms and inclusion is possible in the decentralized platforms, if one learns how they operate and maximizes chances of sharing the earnings on these platforms.

The BAT platform still has some work to do on the simplification front to make participation as easy as FaceBook or Instagram, but I appreciate their foundation of sharing revenues and choice. Its great that you have done this report on BAT to increase awareness, it would be great to work this into the GUI of Hive or Leofinance, so that users Blogs automatically were verified pages in BAT.

Hmmm...I think such an arrangement could be configured as a stream of income for Leofinance also. :)
