So basically like chaturbate [1] and similar, but applied to daily life and without the nudity/sex aspect? I wonder how they plan on keeping that out since their terms [2] (seem to) mention they don't allow that.

> I wonder how they plan on keeping that out It wouldn't surprise me if an established NSFW platform adopted this feature as well, drawing away the people with those interests. And as the app developers have this rule from the beginning at least they're spared the backlash that Tumblr experienced when they banned nude content out of nowhere, paired with a content filter biased towards false positives.

  That feature you are speaking of, is already found on live cams websites I kind of agree with your sentiment on this and I believe it will end up, sooner or later, into what you described.

Hopefully without the annoyance of people "directing" performers without being willing to pay them ... which is something that often happens on websites like chaturbate. It's bizarre how manners go out the window as soon as someone's naked.

  Would be interesting to figure out how large the role of the being naked part really is though. I can imagine the same 'directing' would take place on NewNew: when I first learned about the existence of chaturbate I went to have a look and I have to admit I was quite baffled by what went on there. Not really a pleasant experience actually. Even though I had the impression some performers really enjoyed it and were into it not just for the money, I couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling for the rest it was just poorer people being exploited. And the 'directing' was like vultures circling around reasoning 'well, the rest pays already, so I'm just going to ask anything I want without paying myself'. I would be surprised if that mindset would also not pop up when clothes stay on.

>NewNew is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based entrepreneur Courtne Smith. The app, which is still in its "beta" or pre-full release stage, describes itself as "a human stock market where you buy shares in the lives of real people, in order to control their decisions and watch the outcome" The 'mission statement' seems to suggest that the platform is adding an extra layer to commoditise the celebrity/personality and their lifestyle, by solidifying ephemeral contact built via other channels, into a direct-to-consumer approach, who then become investors and/or stockholders? There is also an overlap on features of other established networks, so it will be not be easy to carve out a niche. Nonetheless, it seems like a warped enough concept to achieve some success, despite contributing further towards the erosion of society and burning or reviving the careers of some wannabe/z-list celebs, amongst others.
