Branches are a genius Bitcoin-only idea.
Like a RT but the more it gets shared by others, the more you get paid.
This effectively pays good content curators, and turns creators into their revenue streams. There's an economic incentive to follow creators!

in free+ad models Creators get paid directly (affecting their content creation process) or indirectly - but they cannot set the price for example. And the money is not instantly available for them. It's very frustrating actually.
With micropayments you get:
Creators - Free to create content, not dependant on advertisers
Curators - Automatically rewarded for sharing good content and creating a niche following
Consumers - Get better content, don't sell private data, CAN earn bits
Micropayment business models are fascinating.
With free + ad models:
Creators (get indirectly paid by advertisers)
Curators (sell you their shit as "influencers")
Consumers (others sell their data for ads, never get paid)
