I'd like to hear what you all think about this. I've been thinking about ways to monetize media (https://medium.com/@johnbiggs/ill-pay-you-to-watch-videos-16...) because the old models aren't working. Mic is shutting down, Steemit is in a hole, and Civil isn't paying journalists. Clearly crypto is part of the answer but how? Anyway, I've created a service that pays you for watching videos. You can upload videos for a few fractions of a BTC and each viewer gets another smaller fraction. It's instant but it requires the viewer to keep facing the video. Lots of potential holes but it's something I wanted to try.
