Should content be subsidized by the SAFE Network?

@Blindsite2k

When it comes to whether the network should subsidize various groups whether code is equal to content all we’re discussing is value.

That’s a good way to phrase it, and earlier I discussed the difference in value between APPs and content:

To restate what I said in the other thread, this is an apples and oranges dilemma. First of all:

• Apps are used, content is consumed
• Apps are maintained, content is preserved
• Apps are forked, content is copied

Apps therefore have what’s known as use-value, whereas content has sale-value. Sale-value can be rewarded by selling the content. However, use-value can only be rewarded by the consequences of having a critical amount of users.
