We do get your point and it is a fair point. However, an important factor while getting feedback or answers is getting a diverse and unbiased set of points of view which will likely enrich the person whose seeking that feedback. It may very

The person that upvotes the answer is the person that asked the question. So, if it is useful for that person the purpose was served.

The key here is that reports go through a group of unrelated people who vet the claim. It is not one person that bans another. Plus, if a user reports something that is not true they bare a cost for that wrongful claim. Because peoples ans

Through several metrics we continuously measure we determine reliability of users. So, empathetic and positive users that are constantly providing good answers receive a higher score and in the contrary the opposite is true. The higher the

Good question. The way the platform is designed makes it hard to implement ChatGPT or other AI services (at least on an automated manner) because the person that asks the question selects the media format he wants the answers back. On top o

The way the moderation system works is the following: Any user may report content as 1) trash content or 2) offensive content. A report immediately triggers a task that packages the reported question on a poll asking if the content is in fa

So, no our plan is not to train AI models to then substitute the catchers. In fact we have a completely different philosophical approach as all the emerging AI trends do. We believe AI is great technology and tool but our values and purpose

We do get your point and have given it ample thought. And yes, we do plan to incorporate alternative infrastructure with less friction without having to download an app in the future. Thank you so much for your kind words and wise point of

See response below. We actually don't mine personal information.

We do not collect name or any identity related personal information. The only thing that could relate to your person is the email address. However, it is only used to contact our users as it is never used otherwise or shown to anyone inside

Yes, we did a test post a year ago without a product... But now were live! :)

Thanks! Eventually we do want to develop a web app but given that it does have that social media (multimedia and user intractability) component of it the best way to approach it and provide the best user experience was through a mobile app.

Not at all like 4chan. For a start it’s not a forum. And in every other aspect also lot like 4chan.

The thrower gets to asses if the answer was a good one, or a bad one or just mediocre. This has no effect on deserving a payout as long as there was a genuine effort to respond the question. It does however influence the scoring (karma) sys

Yes correct!

Simplified, the way this works is the question and the answer get packaged inside a new question that is asked to a number of people just as if it were a normal question with a yes or no poll. “Is the response to this question offensive?” (

Good question! So the way this was designed, is so that the unit (answer) cost is fairly cheap (below the dollar), so that volume is incentivized. In turn, the payout amount which is a fraction of that per unit cost was calculated to be an

Hello! To your first question, yes! The compensation paid is a dynamic fee determined by the score (karma of a kind) a user has. There was a previous question on this page asking what determines quality. And fundamentally it is the fulfillm

Fundamentally, if the response was useful or not to the person who asked it. The platform is prepared positive and negative tags that strongly influence each user’s score (sort of like karma). So what we value mostly is the effort taken to

Hi! 1) The main differences (both for the person that’s asking and the person that’s answering) are: - Agile & guaranteed number of responses (no need to be a HOT question/topic) - Compensation model - Flexible media types (ask and

Email is only for launch purposes. In the end, nor email nor any other attribute that ties to your identity will be shown or used within the platform. It’s fair to be skeptical. Maybe we’ll change your opinion when you see it in action. Tha

Hello! If that we’re to happen it would be partly true that only product or market people would be interested and it would become a noche platform say “Perksy” which does precisely what you describe. We do believe it is very unlikely for th

We’re not targeting market research in particular, it is just one of the use cases. Thanks for the feedback! We will surely keep this in mind!
