“Today’s Sponsor”
A simple website with one full page advertisement (in reality it would just be a url and a tiny bit of code that programmatically updates the href / bref to content already on chain each day), nothing else.
Oh no... ads!...well hang on a minute...
The ad runs for 24 hours (starting and stopping at 9AM EST)
There’s also a sister site “Tomorrow’s Sponsor” which runs a simple auction. To place a bid you must include a link to the content that you want displayed on Today’s Sponsor if you win the auction.
At 9AM the winning bidders content is displayed at Today’s Sponsor (.com or whatever). Until the 24 hours is up and the cycle repeats.
Starts as a novelty but maybe it lasts a long time and the average winning bid sizes start to creep ever higher. Maybe some creators embed Today’s Sponsor in their sites (it’s easy to do this with the BSV protocol after all) as a lark. At first it’s just memes winning the auction for $.03 then one day you wake up and grandma is logged into the Metanet and it’s Coca Cola winning Today’s Sponsor for $20,000.
I’d think that a subset of BSV users would actually choose to browse to it each morning as part of their routine... “just to see who’s paying for today.”
This is my playful BSV twist on the idea of “subsidized time” in Infinite Jest where the years are sponsored.
The best part (in my opinion, hah) is that if you choose to build this before I get around to it, you can simply code the winning bids payment transaction to split off a portion and send that percentage to me if you feel the idea inspired you to take action and build it.
To me, sharing ideas openly and publicly without the fear of “losing out” is part of the promise of the Metanet. At least it could be.
Sure... someone can build this (or any of the other original ideas in this thread) and then choose not to transactionally credit the “founder” with even a portion of the proceeds.
But this comment will be here forever. And because of that, I suspect that antisocial behaviors like what I described will actually be reduced quite a lot.
I’m excited to use all of the new things people come up with.
Good idea for a channel Isaac. Thanks brotha
