RE: AI Wouldn't Choose You

Yeah, I guess using the word "free upvote" did trigger a few people, myself included - along with all the other things.
How does this work anyway? Are you instantly able to generate some value from people viewing the ads or is it all based on clicks only?
Maybe there's something to this if you'd be open to pairing it up with an actual curation service, where all the posts wouldn't be guaranteed to be curated but at least considered. Then again the next question is what happens with the HP you'd power up from ad revenue, is it just yours? etc.
I could be interested in this depending on how it works in the backend and how it's operated if you'd be up for sharing more info and maybe applying it to an existing website such as POSH or something of that nature.
Sorry for the late reply and thanks again for digging deeper here.
Concerning the revenue:
Right now, I'm trying out different ad networks. Many of them require a bit of traction and / or a certain amount of functionality, so I need to take this step by step to a certain extent. One of the networks that's already active supposedly pays on a CPM basis, so anyone visiting the website should basically already contribute to revenue flowing in, even if it's not a lot. Other networks will work on a CPC basis, so I'll have to try out and balance things. I'm still waiting for the first ad revenue to be paid out.
Likewise, for the affiliate links, they typically require a minimum withdrawal amount, so I'm yet to see how much revenue can be generated there.
Regarding the HP that will eventually be generated from both revenue and from curation rewards, I didn't want to overcomplicate things at first, either. I don't plan to power down any of it at any point, but it's clear that users and people from the community will be interested in what's planned with the HP. The longer answer that, in case this is successful, I can eventually open this up as kind of a DAO, since the whole thing isn't meant to make money for me, but to contribute to the community. Otoh, I need to consider taxes, which currently isn't really a thing due to the low revenue, but of course might become an issue down the line.
Regarding the setup of the current app and potential integrations:
I'm totally up for some integrations. Of course, the whole value loop of the app relies on visitors of the website (as of now), since I deliberately didn't want to rely on anything related to voting or curation rewards. So whatever I do should somehow have the potential of sending people to the website to increase traffic, and therefore revenue. I'll spend some time looking into a few services like POSH and thinking about potential integrations there.
