Some video creators might not ever want to get a Hive account and that's fine.
- Jeff is providing those video creators a valuable service so at some point in the future I'm sure he intends to earn a return on that investment by helping them. If I was hosting content for people, I would too.
- The expense of hosting video is insanely expensive (usually thousands of dollars) so of course ROI would be welcome.
- Those Creators are probably very happy to have another site promoting their work. So, like Youtube, making money off other people's work is justified imo and probably appreciated by them too.
Youtube barrages you with ads, whereas Vigilante.tv might someday earn a few Hive coins for providing the Creators with hosting service. Youtube needs this kind of competition imo.
That’s all well and good but you fail to understand Hive works off a shared reward pool to reward original content and Jeff making $500+ a day posting other peoples content is not acceptable.
He will only get rewards if they consent to it from now on. In a week or so when development is done we will activate rewards only for creators linking back. I do admit it was a mistake not to do that from the start. Could have been my lack of understanding Hive and the community.
