@bil.prag They actually answered my concern. They originally didn't do the best job of communicating the mechanics of how that would work, but they did in a reply, and now are going to communicate that better so Devs can understand the project enough to decide if they should support it.
I agree it is clumsy, but as long as they don't get banned for spam from Youtube etc (which shouldn't happen if they are posting from the User's account with the needed scope) it should work pretty well!!
@lightproject I forgot to ask, is there a time window where the user must accept the tokens by or else it's refunded? I think this would be great for both the sender's peace of mind, and also you could add a sense of urgency in the comment( You have 72 hours to accept your Hive) Another idea, could say the USD worth too
e.g.
@godsol has sent you a 10 hive tip! That's worth $2.10 at today's rate. Claim your hive here in the next 72 hours or it will disappear: link-goes.here/
