Testing Ads on Steemit.com

![testing ads.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjBy8hJfWsnVvvgWTwyrXPm8HVD7herCbgv596HqVhNp/testing%20ads.jpg)

Hello Steemians, as part of our strategy for improving the economic sustainability and decentralization of Steem, we are selectively rolling out advertisements on steemit.com. This is only an experiment and no final decisions have been made with respect to the use of ads on steemit.com. 

Despite the seemingly high level of support for ads, we understand that many users might not be comfortable with the idea of ads on steemit.com which is why we are proceeding with a small test.

Thanks for the update and warning. ;)

I would suggest to give users an option to view ads (default off) but also an incentive to to turn them on by maybe in part buying back Steem and rewarding the most active users or some better ways. Who knows, some could decline the rewards and choose to just support Steemit to keep their main dapp alive.

I agree. Have some of the ad revenue pay the people who turn on the ads.

That's exactly what should be done: either 

a) pay user a flat-rate for viewing ads 
b) pay them a flat-rate for allowing ads to be posted within their feed or 
c)let them participte in pay-per-click for ads on their feeds/posts

Then it's a win-win-win situation for advertiers, steemit.inc and user

Are you OK with it, that they use your content to make money, even when you use another UI?

That will take time to develop. They can start with a simple solution and improve it later. The most important thing now is to make steemit.com sustainable.

I have thought the same as it could also demonstrate to those that are buying the ads that there will be traffic due to the incentive.  I relate it to what BAT is trying to do within ots Brave browser.

I was thinking about an ad / reward system a while ago but the thing is rewarding viewers is an  infringement to the Terms and Conditions of the ads providers. At least for the major providers I ve checked

hey stoodkev when are you gonna get rid of your Steemplus chrome plugin's  affiliation with the massive ponzi scam known as adsactly that goes around investing into the "community" as a sort oif bribe to make themselves look good using their victims money

its bad to have software affiliated with such a massive ponzi scam like adsactly, steemplus could have malware

It doesn't matter.
They take your content and sell it. 
You use another frontend?
Still, steemit takes your post, your comments and uses it to make money with it.

I totally agree, i think the best soulutuon should be that 1/3 of ads go to steemit inc 1/3 to content creators and 1/3 get burned so everyone benefits. Content creators, investors and the company.
Only those that never paid a dime to buy steem will complain about ads. I say F em.

A proactive step to generate revenue which is always a postive. I think they should really look at not just network ads but selling that space to direct brands which is how you really make money on ads, I've seen this from personal experience

I really think a big opportunity is the promote section of the site it could be revamped to be more intuitive and auction based so it keeps changing based on impressions and users can bid for top spot based on CPM or CPC using SBD/STEEM. While it may serve to recycle steem and SBD back to steemit it may also result in other cryptos being sold to buy steem just for better promo opportunities on the site

Well, steemitblog.  There's an upside to this and a downside to this.  The upside to this is that Steemit will be able to pay its bills more easily and continue to ensure that Steemians who produce quality posts will get rewarded.  The downside to this is that advertisers may step in and delegate to Steemit what can and cannot be posted on this platform.  How do I know?  I'm also a member of the HubPages writing platform.  They use advertising to fund their platform and there is much less flexibility on what you can publish on that platform than what there is here on Steemit.   In any event, I do thank you for the heads-up. :-)

Did I say anything like this?

Let me quote myself:

Not 

> We should ...
> We must ...

The decision is always yours to make. Always!

The thing is that platforms like Steem separate themselves from *traditional* platforms by three aspects:
- no ads
- no selling / using personal data
- no censorship

With the first aspect gone ...

This is purely my personal opinion, of course.

Steem do not have ads. Steemit has.

But actually, I would say, that ads appeared on whole Steem network, when people started selling votes. If someone will pay $200 to buy votes and to put some content in front of my eyes on trending page... then this is an ad.

I am not against ads, I am against tracking the user, the promoted posts can be a neutral way to display ads, and maybe somehow, like youtube does, share a bit of the price paid from the promoted posts with the users (though the idea of burning the promoted fee is also not bad, maybe do a midterm)

[@steemitblog](https://steemit.com/@steemitblog) [@ned](https://steemit.com/@ned) as long you put ads that won't appear on browsers using adblock, no one will be angry at you for making some $ with ads.
Those who hate ads won't be annoyed by them. But those who are indifferent, or even enthusiastic for Steemit Inc to generate cashflow without flooding the market with coins will check the ads out, and likely occasionally click on them.

Seems the STINC doesn't have any good idea how to earn money on the blockchain technology itself. **Steem** is your baby, maybe you should try to find a way to monetize blockchain instead of putting ADS on the UI.

I'd like to know the line of thinking behind the incorporation of the ad system. Will the user base be apart of benefiting from the ad system or is this just for steemit?


- If you have 500SP it would give you the option to block ads or x amount ads? The more sp you have the more ability to turn off the ads.?

- If you leave the ads on while you're above the 500sp mark would you earn a % of the ads revenue? 

- The more upvotes or comments the more % of the ad revenue you earn?

I know people on both sides of the fence and I think maybe the way it's incorporated is just as important as it being incorporated to the system.

Also, will this slow down the automated steem selling you guys have to do?

I support this, we also desperately need revenue sharing with bloggers.

It is the best way to get influencers over here and keep them here. They will also bring with them large audiences which will boost your advertising revenue.

The Rev share would come from the increase in steem price there's no reason to delegate it out to certain people it would honestly destroy the system. So many sites have gone into rev share with content creators and ended up shutting down over the abuse that happens from it.

Why would there be an increase in the STEEM price? Seems like there wouldn't be any connection to ads. Steemit, Inc would make out okay and be able to pay their bills. That's the only benefit I see for users.

If and when you guys roll out advertisements, can we implement some kind of revenue sharing model for bloggers? I think that would go a long ways in attracting and keeping talented content creators much better than we have thus far. I think overall you guys would end up making MORE money with revenue sharing than if you kept it all because our numbers would be that much higher. A smaller slice of a big pie may end up being much more valuable than getting the whole pie, if it stays very small. Something to think about...

Well, maybe they are talking about ads for open employment positions. Let me just tell you how hard it is to keep good help around nowadays. I mean I have employees dropping like flies. Seems like every time one of them gets a little dirt on me they go and shoot themselves in the back of the head 5 times. 
Now if you are talking about the actual advertising of products and such I may be in contact with you. Keep it under your hat but let's just say I may be running in 2020. Well, maybe running is a bit of false advertising on my part. It may be more like my security detail will be dragging me around like the latter part of Weekend at Bernies. I feel pretty good about my chances this time around. Nothing can stop me now except for maybe a set of stairs or a gradual incline over 3 degrees.

I honestly don't know anyone who's shot himself more 4 times at the back of his/her head but I guess its the American factor. The right way to win an election is by telling the masses about your plans and policies but 80% of them are drunk and the other 20% will most likely spend the entire time wondering how it'll be like to have sex with you(my offer still stands like my genital by the way). The second best way is subtle rigging, you basically ~~sleep with~~ bribe every delegate and everyone ~~stupid~~ interested enough to come out and vote. For good measure, you should also bribe the police, armed forces and all the weird tech guys that count votes (they'll sleep with you). Bribing is way easier than running.

It's clear you have no idea how adsense ads work which is ok. Perhaps in the past ads would have generated lots of money, but with their history, it's safe to assume they would have used the ad revenue  for crack, whores and the occasional expensive haircut. 

As for today, at the current state the site is they will just make the website look more shitty, make many of the few users that sticked here even more angry, fuck the serp rankings even more and perhaps generate enough revenue for a pack of cigarettes.

Yeah... As you said, great idea... Actually it's shitty which is a good thing cause they will keep dumping their stake for dirt cheap prices and sooner or later they will be a thing of the past.

P.S.: Now let me seize this opportunity to shill one of my favourite pieces of software, Brave Browser which is integrated with the BAT token. Among other things, it's super fast and blocks annoying ads, including those of Steemit.com.

I think it would be much more motivating to give these users who allow advertisements a small <em>reward</em> (could be a low percentage from the money the advertisers pay Steemit Inc.) instead of letting the other users pay. In addition it would be a very interesting model to let the users decide themselves <em>which</em> advertisements they like to see on their blog (and get paid for it) and which not.

My very good friend had a successful buy, trade, & sell magazine in the 90's in fact it still runs to this day. It is called the Smart Shopper Magazine! And you can place anything you want to sell in the magazine for free! How you ask? Advertisers run ads in there and by which the Smart Shopper can afford to run the service of selling your items for free to the consumers. In addition to that revenue is also gained by the selling of the magazine in convenience stores all over much of Ontario Canada, as well as online subscriptions. My friend has done very well with his business. Since he has moved it online with the age of the internet as well.. and the business thrives on this business model even to this day nearly 30 years since it began! I was there for the entire start up process and helped get the ball rolling.

So you see Ads can sustain a business and really benefit consumers of that business as well. This has been done for literally decades upon decades and is a proven business model.

I think fine tuning the specifics as you mentioned to suit both the entrepreneur as well as the consumer will really make things pleasant for both parties. Customer/consumer satisfaction should always be number one. Which is an asset to any successful business model!

I think perhaps with this current test phase they are crunching the numbers and watching our reaction. The good news is with @Steemit @Ned I really believe they listen to us. I for one am thrilled for the ads but I want you to be sure to hear our voices and think of us when you make these decisions. This will help guide the business model into one that will be successful on a global scale.

The bottom line is Ads bring in massive revenue. So long as the users of the platform have a say in the 'type' of ads running on their content (I actually saw a dating site that looked like an escort service on the bottom of my most recent page today <-- not cool). And as long as the revenue from the ads is allocated appropriately between the platform and its users which will be a must for this to be well received. Then I think the idea of bringing in more revenue can be an absolute asset to the survival of both the platform and more importantly, it's users!

Looking forward to the future on Steemit!

The proof is in the numbers. If Steemit does not have the money to sustain it stops existing and we have no longer have a wonderful platform. Likewise if Steemit has the funds to carry forward naturally we have our Steemit.. and hopefully they share that ad revenue with the creators similar to YouTube's creators benefiting from ads. Are you listening @Ned? Mama Kawaii has a few years on ya Ned and she knows her stuff! Now I love your hair, and I love Steemit! So you have won me over already. But please make sure to allocate the funds appropriately as Mama Kawaii can hear concern in the crowd.

How about a Premium subscription for users who don't want ads? Akin to Reddit Premium, perhaps with further bonuses / gamification. Maybe they can pay in BTC or fiat directly, so as not to impact Steem/SBD price. Or better still, the subscription can be spent in Steem but burned. (More of a long term benefit for Steemit Inc. and the Steem economy.)

There's going to be a lot of FUD about how Steem now has ads, be prepared for clear communications and clarifications that Steemit.com is only one dApp on Steem.

Is this because the incentive scheme inside Steemit is not sustaining the value of steem enough to keep a dev team on board?

Or is this a function of a bear market in the Fiat value of Steem forcing the Steemit team to cut back?

Both are probably true, to which I say: let's play this experiment in community based social networks. Steemit is still in the early phase of the new decentralised digital world. It may not be the standard bearer in the long run but its successes and failures are the stepping stones on which the next free and decentralised social networks will be built.

Remember we had Myspace, and now we have Facebook. And with the latter we can already see the success of their operational model is inversely proportional to users awareness of the exploitation of their privacy.

This leads me to say: "Ads, go ahead if you think so"
Ads are also a vital part of the market forces that make up a healthy economy.

The users will decide in the long run.

Hmmmmm, I think the test is good. As I see the effects of this, if here banner non-blockchain content / vendors, but I must first consider in peace. I notice already that there are probably slightly different glasses, but which are also interchangeable. The view of those who want to live from the chain here and the view of those who do not feel like commercial printing, tracking, etc., yes.

I use Steemit anyway only for a few tasks - here still inspires the slim loading time. But if there are banners of providers / content outside the chain, this would be my reason to turn my back on Steemit, I mean. It is quite possible that I would redirect all links on my websites to another frontend. These are all first thoughts on my part.

I mean, we should look at how we generate value with the chain instead of mutating it disgustingly. If even Steemit Inc. can not think of anything better than switching to 2.1 cent advertising, that's a real indictment! Pooh! Ridiculous! There I can see at least 1000 people who are more creative! A shame. A real shame.

And I can not even say "Shall they do ..." - because Steemit is probably still a starting pool for many New Steemians. I think it's sad. I reserve cost pressure and it needs means of continuation. But to miss something of the picture "to whistle from the last hole" and then want to get here such an advertising partner on the chain - yes tell me ... because I miss the words. Sad. THIS is not a signal to the community or investors. It would have been commitment and creativity. What a tragedy ey ... in the FIrma I do not want to sit at the desk ...

I do not feel that is a step in the right direction. But that was only a possible pair of glasses. But probably mine.

That's good news. Ads could provide a great potential revenue stream for Steemit Inc as well as content creators. For ads to be more successful, Steem and/or Steemit will need to be changed in a few other ways as well. View counters will need to be returned for posts. Curation rewards will need to be improved, I recommend about 75% for curators and 25% to content creators. The problems with the SBD peg to USD needs to be fixed, this seems a little indirect but it would make a quite a difference in the long-run.

That's fine because private individuals have the right to use adblock and the new ads wont even be noticed at all by the users using adblock

And yeah burning stem is so stupid, like wtf dude, this isnt some new proof of work shitcoin were mining here, godamn thats so annoying how people wanna suggest burning steem, like go ahead dude lol gop ahead and give up your money but dont expect someone else to want to jujst give up a bunch of their own wealth for the good of the "group" which is a lie its just for the good of a few other individuals, thats how it always boils down...the group is just a lie to benefit some other individuals...

I wondered if this day would come. The low price must be hitting all the projects and witnesses. Bills need to be paid. I've seen Steemkr has ads. We have other options for a front end as others have said. My main concern is that development continues and we get the people we need on Steem, so I hope you are actively recruiting users too.

Ads aren't really the problem. We see ads all the time on facebook. Many times, people don't even realize they are seeing ads because they look natural posts. Ads that help users and introduce them to what they want is good in my opinion. The problem is with intrusive ads. 

If Steemit adds a ad system that is clean and doesn't disrupt user experience, it will be fine.

But there are reasons, why I am here and <em>not</em> on facebook. :)

As I suggested in another comment, what about giving (only) <em>these</em> users who allow advertisements a small reward (could be a low percentage from the money the advertisers pay Steemit Inc.)? In addition it would be a very interesting model to let the users decide themselves which advertisements they like to see on their blog (and get paid for it) and which not.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but many of my blogger friends use a company called mediavine and they seem to pay much better rates than googles ads so maybe try them?

I'm sure the views of the three people on Steem without an adblocker will be very lucrative for you.

Steemians have come to enjoy a world without ads over the years. Maybe it's the final push they need to start exploring other front-ends. :)

@steemitblog,
Adding ads might be a good idea, but I wish you might not add pop up ads and will monitor them like FB does! 
Small suggestion, some times you could add ads based on topics of the blog! I think it might be a smart way to attract more advertisers in!

Cheers~

The one thing that made Steemit better than Facebook was I didn't have to scroll through ads.

I don't really care that much about the tech that runs the site. I don't care all that much about the money I could potentially make (but never seem to do).

This was the one place that hadn't sold its soul to the advertisers.

Bitterly disappointed.

I will stop using Steemit if it shows me ads.
I’ll simply use the websites or apps that show the same posts on Steem blockchain, but without ads.

Why do you whine when your government pisses you off? It’s to let them know about it. That’s exactly the reason for this blog post. They want people to express their opinions on the issue. You could have understood it, but then again, it’s not uncommon these days to find an idiot online.

That is your right to do so. However, it costs money to run these websites and steemit.inc needs revenue in order to keep operating. Currently they are the largest sellers of steem in order to keep things running. That is not a sustainable model. Would you rather they continue to sell steem and help drive prices down or would you rather there be some ads from time to time? I know which one I would rather have...

No. They should be raising money just like other businesses do, by going public and through small amounts of debt (if needed). In crypto space, going public is equivalent to an ICO. If they want to raise money from stock market, they should go for IPOs. Then, they can offer their own retail products or charge companies for their services (they can offer them support for integrating a few services with Steem blockchain or promote their posts, which would have the same effects as advertising, but it won’t collect personal data like google adsense). I oppose online advertising only because of privacy concerns. I don’t want my data to be fed to AI and governments/terrorists/hackers.
