Traditional funding methods may lack transparency and can impose constraints on content. Cryptocurrency tokens offer a novel approach, allowing media platforms to generate funds transparently while engaging their audience directly. By tokenizing assets or creating custom tokens, these platforms can offer tangible value and rewards to their supporters, fostering a community of engaged readers and contributors.
