Call me an eternal optimist, but I still think V4V will be part of the future internet, ad revenue models don't work for everyone and they're declining in returns for many smaller creators, blogging for ad revenue is basically dead

Paying creators directly is growing with memberships, subscriptions and donations becoming the norm, but fiat transactions you are inefficient and platforms eat into your margins

I think there's an obvious use case here

But I think this is one of those cases where being early and being wrong looks the same, lol!
