I'm just not sure about your organisation, and how to get involved with your ideas, if you are looking for people to develop stuff
I am trying to get to that stage asap. Sorry I am slow for the reason I explained in my prior post. Also I can't think entirely clearly and comprehensively yet about optimal (organizational, etc) strategy for acceleration of progress.
But the problem is always to have commercial grade content posted on it, it's same with blogs & social media & streaming, and 95% of the market is locked by majors and big editors.
Even 80% of the market prefers to only goggle over Justin Bieber,
there are significant markets that want more diversity. For example, Shawn Grunberger who created BandCamp was a guy that I encouraged back in 1995 to pursue his dream (when I was the programmer and he was working the customer support dept). He even thanked me and attributed me to raising his confidence and interacting with him as programmer willing to explain concepts, etc.. He is now a multi-millionaire and in 1995 I was earning $80K + $milllion in stock options (inflation adjust that!) when he was earning perhaps $30K + no stock options. I have helped inspire others to reach success and want to continue to do that again, but on a much larger scale.
We are headed into a fracturing of society where humans break away from a monolith and assert their differences.
Btw, my 27 year old filipina gf was talking with her guidance counselor at the college today and they started talking about me and apparently he had "invested" in (unbeknownst to him a
MLM scam named) OneCoin. There are a lot fools out there, but their interest is to find new things and new opportunities. Perhaps not all 100% of humans are stupid cows. I want you to think about why some random filipino instructor was aware of OneCoin. That will be an instructive for understanding that I know something about viral marketing.
The interest out there for many new opportunities is increasing...
The key is empowering the actors in the system to have an interactive medium with a motive. What differentiated the Internet from the TV, was that the consumer of the transmission would also transmit back and interact.
You have to engage your audience and stimulate them. Marketing concepts such as stickiness, etc...
I can't possibly find all those opportunities all by myself. That is why I need to empower the app developers. Although I do have a couple of good ideas for apps to jumpstart the process. And I did formerly create million user commercial apps myself in the past decades. I do understand GUI programming and all aspects of programming (except I am weak in networking and daemon server-side programming experience, but the concepts are not incomprehensible for me). I also understand marketing somewhat.
The problem with the ICO model is it motivates app developers who are only mining the speculators. My model motivates app developers who want to drive real user adoption. That is a very key distinction. Pay attention!
I am not proposing to cater to derelict or unprofessional developers and content providers. I am instead proposing that there is a wider diversity of qualified ones out there than are currently able to find a (or maximize their) market for themselves.There is some good content for example on Medium, but Medium is still trying to figure out how to best monetize. Even Steem occasionally has decent content, but top notch content is more likely to be on Medium than on Steem, because Medium has more readers. I hate Medium's comment thread format and even the Medium editor sucks IMO. There is a lot of room to innovate.
