Another critically important question is whether Synereo attention model will work well.
I have very strong doubts about whether people will want to get paid from a social network, because I think the earnings will be so small that they will be offended. They join social networks for greater reasons, such as sharing, interacting, etc.. Instead I think you need to give them a better experience of what they really joined for.
I agree that the problem with Steem it and Synero is the attention model economy. The attention economy should change. I believe that
people are going to post and valorize meaningful content if they feel their actions produce the network to connect them with more like-minded people .I thought for years thoroughly about an
mathematic, algorithmic idea of categorizing posts and publishing through colours that represent the "meaning" and the "social value" of the information.Here is a briefly manifesto: Content and peoples profile in the network are colorized. You could initially choose for your profile a colour that represents you. Also you can choose an initial tagged colour for your posted content. The colour represent the meaning, the feeling, the information and the intention of your post ("Post" mean content, music, art, "anything". For now on im going to say only the word "post"). People can like your post and put a colour into it if they feel that the content represent the colour. This network intelligence is going to change your initial colour or confirm it.
For example, you can post an ecological proposition and tag it with green. People like it (amp it) and maybe they colorize it to
green if they feel that your content has a green feeling or maybe some of them chose green as a an initial colour avatar/profile and they empatize with you. So through voting your profile avatar turns more
greener.
Profiles who are in a colour near the green pattern will be more connected to your influence and receive in their top news more material that you post.
Advertising can follow the same pattern. For example here in Argentina, were I leave, there is a fair trade brand of mate called "Titrayju" ("mate" its a drink similar to tea) that doesnt explotes the producers and collectors of the herb. If people like the brand they could upvote the advert and colurize it
green if they feel that your brand represent feelings like natural,ecological or whatever they thought that green represent. A green advert means that its going to show more often and promoted in this type of contents helping them to reach their public targets.
So basically the colour of the profiles of peoples and enterprises will change through posting, upvoting, downvoting and rewards with Amps.
All this behaviour could be hold in the network and mathematically represented through algorithms. Your beheaviour on the network its going to change your colour and your influence. In the network there is going to be changes in trending topics, colour population, perception of information, etc.
Its long to explain but the network should interpret also tagged words through the psicology of colours so there its not going to be guetto colours. For example
red and
green people will be connected through other feelings and contents and everything (I recommend the reading of "Psychology of Colours" by Eva Heller as a bibliografic resource).
After some months of running of the network trending and correlation through different colours should appear so people in real life is going to promote Synereo asking to someone:
"What colour are you?"I do not want to extend me in other topics but with this type of network I know that its possible to make a
social impact with a lot of benefits for the world.
Well what do you think? I think this is the missed social and spiritual component of all social networks. I think that through colours its easy to understand and especially is easy to
"feel" for the users
