I'm not sure if someone already wrote about this issue or if it's already a discussion that happened in this forum, but I've been wondering if we'll ever see advertising within SN.

I don't consider advertising to be bad as long as it's about necessary things or services, for example something I notice about @Lunaticoin's podcasts apart from the great content they offer in information, is that their advertisements are about quality products or services, ehem Hodl Hodl, ColdCard or La Dobla Bullion.

I understand that managing advertising within the platform generates income and on the one hand if they are of quality it is also beneficial for those who observe.

Or maybe advertising is not for SN, I don't know. I would like to know what the community thinks.

Let me know what you think about there being advertising within SN?

Eventually I would like to see sponsoring of the rewards pool. So every day or for a week at a time a company ponies up the 100k sats a day for the rewards pool so SN doesn't have to and gets their name, link, blurb at the top of the rewards page.

Or maybe it is an auction style thing where they commit to doing 100k sats for 7 days but another sponsor can come along and outbid them and take their spot after the first day.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. I think that both options you mention sound quite reasonable and profitable. It will be a matter of time before these or other measures are implemented, or before more companies and large projects come to SN willing to pay for their boost to be noticed within the community.

Ok, I understand!! This way, any person or company can advertise or publicize on SN. As long as they pay for the boost.
