Say goodbye to hassling with credit cards.Unlock content by just upvoting! An enjoyable way to interact with paywalls.
Steemsongs
Upon reading about Steemsongs, a service being developed by @thisisbenbrick, I noticed this following bit in his recent post:
"We plan to have "pay with upvote" options that will also allow you to only select users with a certain amount of SP. This might mean that some bigger users are able to get music for free, whilst giving the creator much more than they'd normally receive. Of course you can chose SBD or Steem."
And this is was my reply:
"@thisisbenbrick paying via upvotes is a huge thing for everyone on Steem right now. Imagine how the demand for SP will increase if this technology becomes widely adapted!
Few things came to mind. First, you should have minimum required upvote amount set. This means whales could pay more if they wish or just go for the minimum required. Second, this feature should be available to almost everyone! Those with smaller wallets could vote until minimum is reached and only then would they get the content.
Let me know what you think."
Excitement intensifies
This is a piece of technology that done well could introduce so many new ways to interact with upvotes. New sites could pop up that use only this method of distributing their content to readers or just have special content behind it. It would be up to owners of these sites on how to use it - Maybe they'd like their content to be available for users with single 10 cent upvotes or upwards or even the smaller holders could upvote many times. I'd like to see as many options as possible as they all could be used in different and various ways.
The demand for SP could go through the roof with wide adoption
