One content creator, thousands of views, some of those viewers/followers/consumers/whatever also pay. Tipping model doesn't work. The incentive to hold and tip over time is necessary, or it's new money coming in that goes straight back out the door.

What's truly needed and has always been lacking are content creators gathering support from the outside. Content creators get a lot of support on the outside. Hundreds of millions are exchanging hands annually in this day and age and that will only increase. This platform offers the consumer a better deal, and this platform offers content creators the ability to establish a consistent revenue stream (without the help of current stakeholders) rather than depending on sporadic donations. People also buy subscriptions, platinum memberships, whatever you want to call it. Even that money can go a lot further here. And one of the greatest perks/easiest selling points is how the consumer can have most, some, or maybe even more of their money back if they decide this isn't for them.

You know what happens when a content creator gets 'cancelled' or deplatformed? Not only do they lose their stage, but all those consumers who supported them threw their money away and can no longer enjoy, whatever it is they enjoy. The money was wasted. So here those consumers are also investing in the fact that can't happen to their favorite personalities.

I'm not trying to sell you an idea. I'm just pointing out what's missing, what works, how to sell it.... and I could keep going getting right down to the dirtiest details. I've been repeating myself here for years though. I can guarantee the next big onboarding push will once again fail to attract any dedicated consumers. With so many consumer perks in place though, of course attracting them, their eyes, and their addiction to this platform would be incredibly beneficial if ads were introduced as well. I'm not saying there's only one way. There are also incentives for the investor class. Everyone has a home here, and things can even be better.
