I've been thinking about this, but the disconnect of a token to USD is problematic. My tokens value may fluctuate, but my mortgage, utility bill, and groceries do not. Despite crypto's many benefits, I still need present value of time to be in USD because I have to pay USD.

ofc this isn’t a mandatory thing for any1. no need to go meta inception if u can operate on a base currency. 

But communal & dao tokens show us that tokens don’t have to be value in the monetary sense as you may desire a token gated spot etc w frens. Some communal tokens hold value even w/o utility.

Oh yeah. I've been thinking a lot about how to utilize hypersub and/or token-gating. But the best model seems to be prioritizing distribution so I'm going to start there before introducing any sort of gate.

That's interesting, but has been done in web2 space often and typically results in low-effort high quantity work that isn't terribly effective.

Even if you reward based on a performance metric, quantity can garner rewards while failing to deliver long-term success to your business b/c the leads delivered don't stick.

I’m thinking about just doing high profit sharing model for hyper-subs. Rather than monetize it, reward everyone for bringing in more subscribers. MLM but the costs go to paying writers. The goal is bringing in readers and paying writers rather than monetizing. 

Haven’t gotten past the initial idea though.
