What I envision is a website that look like any other news source that billions of people interact with as part of their life. The current ad supported "journalism" has been refined over many decades. The contend will be curated from what is already being published on HIVE for the world to see. The only thing to change will be the presentation.
Implementation Details
The goal is to replicate a well known and profitable system without having an upfront payment for the authors. Aside from some small mentions regarding HIVE + the team behind the website, there will be nothing similar to Web 3 in this front end. There will be ads and the share of the profits can be given to the authors of the articles.
Existing Front Ends are Author Focused
We are leaving a considerable amount of money on the table by not catering to readers and not using ads. Many of the HIVE authors are smart enough to use Brave Browser or some other ad blocker. This is not the case with most internet users.
- We can have a single front end such as HIVEnews.io
- We can create multiple niche blogs if needed
- We can build partnerships with news aggregators
Voting is only allowed for HIVE accounts older than 30 days. If you want to see results, make your vote first. I decided to make double the default poll duration. Voters have 14 day window to cast their vote.
