Awesome to hear the thoughts of someone in the industry, actively looking for an alternative!
The potential is there for a dev to build exactly what you're after on Hive, but there are a ton of technical questions we need to explore answers to.
Questions that need answers
Payments:
- Does Hive currently offer the ability to monetise via a subscription model rather than purely the rewards pool or does this need to be built?
- From there, can you then hide content behind a password or paywall?
- Answers will then affect whether chargebacks can potentially screw over the creator.
- From there, can you then hide content behind a password or paywall?
Decentralisation of images:
- If so, will this then be adequate protection for someone sharing images on Hive?

so i don't know if everyone would want this on the creator side, but if recurring payments aren't possible (because it may require the person to be actively logged in, i don't know), the lack of chargebacks is good. honestly wanting to get money from people who forget to cancel a sub is scummy anyway.
but the way to balance it a little more is the sub would maybe last for like a week and that's it, though this would be up to the creator to determine.
i would rather not have nsfw images stored in a decentralized way. i 100% am not putting anything of mine out to where i lose all ownership of it. there is no benefit to me as the creator to have my content stored in such a manner. i want to know that i can delete my content immediately if necessary. totally understand that content going on the internet anyway is like already out there once it's out, but that's not true if i discover i encoded something wrong for instance. if i need stuff deleted because of some job, it's not like the biggest concern if there's some back alley trading of it, as long as it's no longer out in the open.
also would be nice to have some system of storing a hash or fingerprint or whatever of each piece of content from a verified creator.
and actually, how can there be chargebacks like you're saying? if the person doesn't have the money, how would they be renewing or paying for something?
