People reasonably took issue with your statement, "I do bemoan the failure of yet another attempt to provide artists with revenue," which implied that NFTs were ever an attempt to provide artists with revenue. They were not. This is not a reading comprehension issue except perhaps on your end.
One can argue that the way we implemented this on finclout it even simpler.
Its as simple as receiving a share of the Stakepool revenues based on relative performance on the platform. Passive content income through real yield treasuries.
One could view Proof of Stake (PoS) Systems as being similar to the Federal Reserve System.
In the latter, the central bank provides liquidity to the banking system. The banking system then provides financial services (working capital, managing deposits, etc) to companies within an economy. These companies can then use this capital / service to provide goods and services to the economy.
The banking system is, in simplified terms, a margin business that borrows funds from the central banks and lends out further. Through this margin all costs have to be covered.
In the former this role is taken on by the Treasuries of the PoS (Eth, Cardano, etc). Stakepool operators take on the role of the banking system and Apps like finclout take on the role of a business in this ecosystem. Stakepool operators validate the chains, at a low energy overhead one might add, and thus provides services to the Central Treasury. For this service they receive a fee. This fee can be seen as being similar to the margin of the traditional banking system. Moreover, stakepool operator then can take on the role of distributing the liquidity they received from the treasury further into the economy of the block chain. Thereby providing liquidity to App Operators.
In theory this could provide an efficient means to monetize content. And this is what the finclout app is aimed to solve. Absolutely, it doesn't do that well yet.
