Open source doesn't mean "never make revenue". I think it could be so easy to make even at this shit market 5k revenue with ecency. Monetize some parts am it works.

I know that would be a business, maybe you dont want to run one.

But at the end to depend 100% on DAO money forever will not work out. And yes Ecency is one of the better proposals, Hivewatchers is 100x worse, runs for years, protect what exactly? Shit content? Well i only see shit content on hive.

And cost way to much for it.

But the point is all "forever" proposals are waste. The 90k Bailout retroactive pay was also a waste ( special at all time low).

Everyone can build software, at the end 99% becomes useless. 1% can survive and this is the 1% makes money. Everything else is a expensive hobby.
