I really am enjoying using the app. I wish it didn't advertise itself on all my posts and take their 10% but hey, I get it. It's advertising without venture capital. Hahahah
I actually don't mind it. 10% could cut into a lot for me(especially this week cuz of sbi). But they gotta make money somehow and I'll take an additional line at the end of my comment or post. Barely distracts users. At least its not all up in your face or at the start. @parkito, you guys are great.
Agreed, I'm obviously still using the app. I was a eSteem user, but now I just use eSteem for @blokz which is far less active ATM. I'll eventually get around to that project much more, but have other projects needing more attention at the moment. Like smoking this heaping pile of weed or playing one of my 9000 games.. I mean working on the website for @meandmysong and maintaining the house. Hahaha
Lol. I didn't like esteem as it was slow, clunky and ugly. I haven't tried their new app yet, but their desktop app is nice. I do think parkito is going to be my main mobile steem app. Now, for wallet support.
The new beta has a decent UI,... But it's still a bit slow, and not really,... Intuitive. It's non standard appearance / interface, doesn't do it any favors.
Partiko is certainly not free. The signature after people's comment is the cost.
Also, on the Steem blockchain, there's no such thing as "selling users' data". We don't know the users email, their address, their school, their credit card number. Literally nothing.
The signature is a small cost for a user, but it wont cover your expenses.
The seed investors already have data on users email, their address, their school, their credit card number plus much much more.
What they dont have yet is users blockchain data, and to link the data they need apps like Partiko. They wont pay you for something that is already publicly available on the Steem blockchain.
I just hope Partiko wont become a tool for the bad actors thats all.
We are self funded right now and are looking for seed investors. We aim to allow Partiko users directly earn crypto from their audienceb (not from the reward pool) and we will take a cut on that.
Just be careful with seed investors money, they usually push you to generate a large number of users so they can data mine and abuse users privacy, and sell it to a higher bidder.
Be very careful, i hope you dont want to be part of the old unsustainable business model of selling users data for fiat.
I really wish Partiko can find a sustainable business model, or we Partiko users are running a risk of being the product, like in the old unsustainable social media business models where our data is worth more than crypto tokens :(.
We have the vision, and we will do our best to find it. Selling your data is not part of our vision. We have zero data about you, and there's and well be nothing we can sell.

Partiko does not take beneficiary cut
Posted using Partiko Android
Well look at that, I swear I saw them listed as a beneficiary on steem.com previously on a post. I stand corrected. Thank you @crypto.talk
I've got parkito to come back to and that I will. Its really amazing how much has been done for it. All at 0% beneficiary.

Just remember, if the app is "free" you are being the product.
I prefer the beneficiary model, instead of being data mined and sold behind my back.

Also, on the Steem blockchain, there's no such thing as "selling users' data". We don't know the users email, their address, their school, their credit card number. Literally nothing.
And everything else, is public already.

Yea, thats why I love it. Any plans on doing so in the future though?
Taking beneficiary cut is not our business model. So we won't take beneficiary cut in the future either.

That's amazing. How do you plan on being sustainable then?

Hopefully this makes sense to you!
