If you have a post with 10,000 viewers
1% of them tip .50
that’s $50 direct to creator with none of the bad feelings of speculation involved for either party 

We have all the building blocks for this today but don’t do it because …. ? 

Too hard to socialize the behavior?
Profit motive — trading leads to many more txn for the chains and platforms? 
Content is actually valueless and no one will ever pay?

because most of the 10,000 viewers are broke

incentivizing things @ poidh.xyz - come chill /poidh + follow @poidhbot

That’s a different issue. This is not the case on web2 social. If this place is going to win it needs proper with purchasing power

1% the norm for shit tier accounts on IG

Other benchmarks higher 

Still, fine. Cut my figure in half and you still get $25 

Even $5 or $10 for 10k views would be reasonable imo - 10k views is nothing 

Tipping culture already is more entrenched on video platforms too 

For someone who is a libertarian who wants to replace all social programs with rich people benevolence — you certainly aren’t bullish on rich ppl benevolence 

Anything worth doing is hard work 

Socializing a 25 cent super like microtxn seems easier than a lot of other tasks

you're trying to fight basic internet physics though

pretty sure the math is standard across most social that 100 views, on average, translates to 1 like? 

so 10,000 views should = 100 likes

asking 1% of people just to give a complete FREE reaction to a post is the norm behavior

and we want to move that goalpost to getting them to take the steps to actually send real money? there's a lot of human psychology that needs to be rewired and unless you figure out the carrot that's going to make that happen it's a steep uphill climb
