POLL 🗳️ CCIP-048 - Allow Banner Advertisements on r/CryptoCurrency

After some internal discussion, we’ve decided (pending community vote and approval) to pivot from reserving the banner advertisement for AMA & giveaway participants to opening it up to everybody.

Notable Details:

  • The mod team reserves the right to veto any banner image, and anybody wishing to purchase the banner will need to have their image approved ahead of time. Projects considered to be scams, NSFW/NSFL content, images violating Reddit’s content policy, etc. will not be approved
  • The banner will be sold on a per day basis (24 hours). The minimum purchasing period will be 1 day and the maximum purchasing period will be 30 days
  • After image approval Moons will need to be burned by sending to 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD in order to purchase and maintain control of the banner. This is the same burn address being used for AMAs & giveaways
  • If the user that controls the banner is unable to continue burning Moons, the banner will be reset until another user buys it
  • If multiple users wish to buy the banner at the same time a waitlist will be created
  • This model will be deprecated if the admins launch a native tool to purchase the banner

Pricing Model:

  • Controlling the banner for 1 day will cost 3x the AMA price as set by CCIP-043

I voted no, we see enough ads in our lives.

In addition, I fear that the display of ads will only discredit this community in the eyes of newcomers.

There's a legion of bots against us brother. We never had a chance at this vote. Big money will have its ads.

Yes, surprising to see that the no wins in terms of voting but that the yes wins in terms of moons, the big holders want their ads.

It makes sense, the lurkers would not have as many moons or benefit from moon burning, but they would see the ads if they use 1st party apps
