They are trying to come up with something fundamentally transforming content creation, curation and consumption. Will it need time to evolve? Oh yes! Will it need a loooot of time to evolve? Oh hell yes!
I think it's quite likely that the exponential transformation we're witnessing all over the web will mean that the time required for mainstream adoption may be much shorter than expected. With the growing understanding of decentralization benefits and the grave problems rooted in the intermediation of content distribution, there's an accelerating trend of direct compensation for creators and curators. Patreon's success is an encouraging example of this concept's viability.
WildSpark, with its mature version scheduled to be released in February, has a great potential to conquer the "casual Amplification" niche. It'll be unique in its ability to reward and promote *any* content on *any* platform, without necessitating any strings attached to a particular creator; just hit the AMP button whenever you spot quality content.
The winds are shifting on the world wide web, and our sails are wide open to catch that drift, propelling the
Liberated Attention Economy forward.
Nothing to add to what you said. There are a few things I don't like when it comes to the funding of Synereo and how the team deals with it. It is known that they are golden already, since they kept a lot of the funds in BTC. Elokane himself confirmed that. We don't know anything about the salaries they pay themselves (correct me if I am wrong) and still they decide to sell into an AMP bear market parts of their founders wallet. Regardless how much they sold of it, they should not forget about their investors' sentiment. Elokane said he doesn't care about price, but I would like to remind him that this sentence is way too offensive given the circumstances how his project came to birth. There is a discrepancy between the fact that the developers are golden because of the BTC we contributed while investors are not. Even though they should in some sense be possessing part of the company they contributed their money to. The problem is that Synereo based on coins in circulation is perhaps worth less than the BTC contributed by investors and still in possession by the dev team. Without having any proof, I am sure they have a very decent salary for everyone on the team. So the funding part of their business in my opinion is not as transparent as they claim it to be.
Afte all I am quite sure they are serious about their vision. It's the most important thing to me when it comes to frequent reconsiderations about my investment portfolio. I know what I invested into.
