10c is more expensive than local phone calls are in alot of countries. Not a bad idea though, could make alot of spamming unviable even with a small amount like 1c. What about if you "like" something, a portion of the fee goes to the original poster?

#12That price is too low.
Or it's too high because why should anyone pay $0.10 to post on a nerdy and tiny social network when Twitter is free and you can reach hundreds of millions? Difficult balancing act.
Depending on the nerdy and tiny social network, I would pay way more than ten cents.

app.net was about as nerdy and "expensive" as you could realistically get and it's dead.

#14How does this compare to steemit.com?

#15Interesting concept. There is definitely an opportunity out there for some kind of Patreon meets reddit model but the execution on these types of businesses is particularly hard to pull off.

Steemit had a big ICO sale. Yours has a more traditional funding model.
I find Yours simple and easy to use apart from the friction of getting ahold of some Bitcoin Cash.

Maybe for posting, but 10c to consume or upvote content might be too high. Think about how many pieces of content you consume on a Facebook feed or on your reddit homepage. And 1k upvotes would translate to $100...sounds rich to me. Wonder how they intend on preventing spamming posts / content farming / gaming the system in that kind of environment.
TED charges $4000 to listen live and meet people.
After they have their conferences where all the rich people support them, they give the content away to the masses for free. The point to take away from this is that some people are willing to pay a huge amount of money for "networking".

#18Having some limit to posts is an interesting idea. But I don't see much of a return on investment for the users in this approach. Why should I pay to have people see my post? Shouldn't I have to pay people to see their posts instead? Anyway, all of luck to them. I'd like to know what might develop from this. Though they really should have asked for two cents instead of ten. I mean, come on: how could you miss this?

I think people like to write things that others will read. How else to explain why people post so much on e.g. Facebook that is not informational or helpful to others but merely something they want others to read? Introspectively, I recognize that I enjoy commenting on Hacker News and am not exactly doing it wholly out of the goodness of my heart for the benefit of all of you.

From observing the behavior of some people online, I think that there are people out there who just like to write stuff, regardless of whether anyone might read or care. This can be good or bad. I've read good posts from clearly forgotten blogs. I've also read in certain communities posts so inane and out of context that it's hard to even understand why they were written in the first place.
"Shitposting" in it's strictest sense is very much an example of the latter, because it's a repeated pattern of stupid behavior which doesn't even qualify as joking, and which is repeated regardless of whether people pay attention to it or not. It's like drawing swastikas on bathroom stalls.

Maybe if the likes only got you store credit up to what you've put in but never for profit? If profit from likes was possible, we'd end up with tons of posts karma whores go for.
