We should wait for a new video introducing main features of WildSpark.

OMG... Dor and his team wrote wonderful articles upon the attention economy and media flows on the Internet. AMPs would tokenize the cost of attention. But what we see is some old multilevel strategy to deceive people who think they can make money by AMPlifying and sharing links, hoping that other people will follow those steps. As soon as they realize it doesn't work and they lose money in average, they will only try to make content and AMPlify their own content for more AMPs, but probably there will not be many people AMPlifying that content, only themselves. I may be wrong, but I really don't see a point here...

Dude. AMPs can be used by curators with the purpose of earning money, but they are also a way to reward content creators directly. That means no longer will content creators have to rely on bullshit ad revenues, contracts with spotify, etc just to make a fucking living.

All you need is a popular channel on youtube, medium, or whatever and you can earn money from what used to be "thumbs up" on a video. No bullshit from corporate entities. Steemit has already shown that this tipping model is a viable way to incentivize content creators.

I would certainly tip youtube creators for creating content I like, even if I didn't expect a ROI on my 50 cent tip. Would you not?

I would prefer to invest in my children's education rather than regularly send money to youtubers, but it actually doesn't matter what I would or wouldn't do. This is the wrong question. What really matters is what most people would do. And they wouldn't tip.

Talking about Steemit... Do you see STEEM Dollars or even liquid STEEM flowing to good content authors? No! No tips! You only see upvotes. In Steemit, an upvote doesn't mean you are emptying your pockets on that decision. It is damn easy to upvote for free. I am not selling AMP now because I already sold at around 20k sats, but I think it is a good opportunity to sell once again, before the hype vanishes and the true reality arises.
