RE: A Simple Title: How To Generate Billions to Pay the Bills

The most peculiar thing to me is that most people who spend time online are used to seeing ads. Sometimes, it can even take a while to notice that they are there. You are correct about your stance that advertising already exists here in the form of bidbots, and also on the posts of individuals whenever they share a link another site. Good idea, and thanks for putting things like this out there despite the discouragement that you've had.

@Brianphobos and I were talking about something similar when he was visiting.

Ads are everywhere here. For the most part, the ads we have now are designed to be misleading. Advertisements disguised as helpful blog posts. Fake popularity. This stuff confuses the consumer and stalls the growth of the organic consumption, effectively removing any potential to earn billions through ad revenue like Youtube, in favor of a few thousand and selling pressure on the token. They produce their promotions, sell their tiny profit. If everyone did that, content producers would be forfeiting 90% and more of the entire reward pool, so they can buy followers on a platform that's going nowhere. This is a confused bunch and those selling the votes, offering the idea as "help", are not telling everyone the truth.
