RE: Is This the Beginning of Evergreen Income on Hive?

Yes, this will certainly be a real game-changer on Hive. Evergreen content and SEO strategies become less attractive when the effort involved isn't commensurate with the revenue earned within just a seven-day window; the situation changes, however, when there is an opportunity to generate ad revenue beyond that initial period.

If 3Speak succeeds with this advertising program, I believe various front-ends should consider leveraging ad revenue to cover the costs of maintaining their platforms.

Of course, with ad placement kept to a reasonable level so as not to be intrusive.
