Have you watched those popular TV series? Behind the scenes, directors, actors, and technical teams work hard, but in the end, they can only get paid based on the platform's discretion. This opaque revenue sharing model has long needed to be changed.

One idea worth paying attention to is: store video content directly on a sharded storage network. Every time a user clicks to watch, a smart contract automatically triggers the settlement. The earnings for directors, actors, and production teams are credited in real-time according to a pre-set ratio, with no middlemen taking a cut.

This is not just a fantasy. This automated revenue sharing architecture encodes the rules in code, making black-box operations transparent. Creators can see exactly where every penny comes from, and viewers' watch counts directly correspond to revenue distribution. The entire chain is as transparent as it can be.

Ultimately, this is about returning the value flow of content back to the creators, allowing the production side to receive their rightful earnings. It’s no longer up to the platform to decide, but dictated by the market and smart contracts.

Smart contract revenue sharing sounds pretty good, but I don't know if it has actually been implemented yet.

Damn, this is the real thing to do. The platform has been profiting off retail investors for decades.

Sounds great, but we need to ask—who pays for the gas fees for on-chain settlements? Has this been calculated?

Oh no, someone finally said it—this revenue sharing system is really terrible. Automatic distribution through smart contracts? Sounds good, saving the platform from secretly deducting layer after layer. It would be great if it were truly transparent, but on-chain stuff isn't always reliable; it depends on who maintains it. I just want to know if this system is costly or if it's just another new way to fleece users. Now the platform is the big boss, but if it switches to a contract, no one will cheat? I'm a bit skeptical.

Sounds good, but has it really been implemented, or is it just another "revolutionary" idea? This on-chain revenue sharing sounds great, but the question is who will ensure that actors and directors want to be bound by code? Middlemen are dead, but gas fees and smart contract vulnerabilities are thriving. It's the same old decentralized tune. I feel like the platform just changed its disguise. Creators definitely deserve to get more, but don't expect contracts to save the day.

Sounds pretty ideal, but the problem is, who will maintain this system? Isn't it just replacing one middleman with another?

It sounds idealistic, but can it really be implemented? How could the platform willingly relinquish power? --- Smart contract revenue sharing? I like this logic; finally, someone has considered the creator's perspective. --- It sounds good, but the key is whether someone will actually do this. Otherwise, it's just another airy dream of Web3. --- Transparent revenue sharing is indeed a pain point, but here’s the question: why would the audience switch from the platform to a new system? --- Hardcoding rules into the code sounds great, but what about bugs, disputes, and who will arbitrate? --- I'm really fed up with middlemen skimming the difference; I support this idea.
