Nice idea. I see this benefiting influencers and folks with larger number of followers on social channels, but everyday folks are unlikely to see any significant revenues here IMO. The fact that influencers are more likely to adopt it means it has good odds of taking off in popularity though.
Someone like Pinterest doing this implicitly and crediting users (with non-monetary perks even) might have a better chance of impacting the average user I think.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses though. I hope the team shares how it's working out for users a few months down the road.
Thanks! I think non-monetary and group rewards will be huge, because unlike cash they are something that can be made available to a very broad set of users.
We plan to be as open as we can week to week about our progress, and how our users are doing with earning cash and other rewards. We'll be blogging...
