I would love that, but someone needs to give Memo a makeover to make it millenial friendly before the Kims & Kanyes and Instagirls and celebs come to the yard.

The biggest complaint I've gotten so far is "Why would i pay to use social media?" We need a faucet for early users to start out with. Right now you can't make a post without any BCH.

We need to remind normal people we are a bunch of cryptonerds just sitting on lil bits of magical internet money to give people. Strangers are often amazed cos its not the norm.

"Why would I want to get paid to use social media?"

When the front page after signing up on Memo effectively says "You need money to make your first post!" It's not very welcoming. Even if you earn more than you spend.

I agree that's a hurdle, but the trick is getting people to jump it on their own. Worded correctly, that sentiment could engender exclusivity and quality: it's all in the marketing.

Enough people have heard the "If you're not paying, you're the product" line that some variation on that should hit home: ie, "Memo.cash - where you're not the product"
replied 2350d
And enough people don't care if they are the product. They'd rather pay in tracking and advertising and surveillance than with a couple bucks. This is billions of people.

I think they *DO* care if they're the product; they just don't know any other way. This problem is not endemic to memo and will require an overall shift in the consumer zeitgeist.

Indeed!

If you are not paying for it, you're the product...

paying for it doesn't mean you aren't the product also
replied 2351d
Most people don't care.

They starting to care cuz they know it effects who gets elected.

Its an easy answer. No crap advertising, nobody stealing your personal information. and you can post whatever you want. Just 1.00 of BCH at USD value will last a very long time. .
replied 2351d
Agree, even though 1 BCH is realistically way too much. 0.001 - 0.01 BCH would by far be enough to last you a considerable amount of time!
replied 2351d
I kind of said that backwards. What I meant was change 1.00 USD into BCH. LOL.
