It seems like Synereo wanted to show that they have a working product. But when it's this useless it's a step backwards. Synereo has a long way to go to come close to any point on their roadmap. But the good news is they don't have any dates on their roadmap so they can take as long as they want lol
Thanks for the feedback.
Another value added, besides the incentives for distributing content via curation, is that the content creators are able to be rewarded too. (see: https://wildspark.me/doc/)
Also remember, the "free" sites are not free, they have a high and terrible cost!
Showing a working product was a clear goal, yes, but not the only benefit of the first step of releasing the browser extension product, WildSpark.
It also allows the testing & tweaking through an iterative process with the user community of the attention economic model, as well as build community at the same time, each time getting larger.
February is the date of the next major milestone, which is just a couple more months away! By the time we get there, more things will come into view.
We know it's been a long haul, but it will be worth it!
