- banachtarski 8y agoWhat about it? They are funded by non-profit. Unless you're suggesting you're going to get anything near the feature set of current for-profit social networks. No major common features = no adoption by the general public. I'm talking face filters, gifs, emojis, stickers, videos, reactions, and the list goes on.
- icebraining 8y agoWhatsapp doesn't have many of those, yet they have 1.5 billion users. In fact, I think Signal has more of that stuff; there's no Gif Search in WA: https://signal.org/blog/signal-and-giphy-update/ https://signal.org/blog/signal-and-giphy-update/
- banachtarski 8y agoYes because they were a "free" messaging service that could supplant expensive SMS carriers. They are different products at the end of the day, and a messaging service was acquired by a social network. Anyone can get tons of users selling a product at a loss. This is the standard startup story. Why don't you approach an investor yourself and just start it.
