Hi all, Peepeth creator here. Would appreciate your thoughts. https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/87k9iz/presenting... https://www.producthunt.com/posts/peepeth

In terms of getting paid: As a content creator, I'd like the barrier to entry to be as small as possible. Youtube Views being the lowest, what's the draw for this over Patreon, or even a Paypal?

Good question. It's nice to be able to receive payments without relying on a company. Even if Peepeth.com goes down, you could still be in business on other front-ends (back-end data is open, anyone can build competing front-ends).

I like it, really! I believe this to be a good use-case for decentralization as opposed to anonimity - if paired with a good verification mechanism (so leaving behind the crypto-anonimity mantra) this would also guarantee integrity of timelines (tampering/algorithmic curation of news and what not). Good luck to you Sir!

Thank you.

Currently there's Twitter account verification (through a blockchain oracle contract). More verification options are on the way (incl. domain ownership).

Don’t forget to Like and Repeep my Peeps on Peepeth

Yeah, it's an unfortunate name :\. This is how I imagine any conversation about it going: "Hey friends, you all should try this app I'm using Peepeth" "Pee-what?" "Peepeth." "How do I spell that?"

The name jokes are many and hilarious, making a page on the site for that :)

I'm glad you find humor in it :). I sincerely hope it doesn't hurt adoption! I really want there to be alternatives to Twitter (I use Mastadon).

You should check Peepeth out. It is a way better alternative to Twitter. It has more of a community feel without the garbage heckling, etc.
