I noticed that there are quite a number of crypto-powered social media popping out in recent years. I believe the most successful one is Steemit, which most of us can agreed on. There are also other social network platforms like Appics, Uhive and etc. I am curious to know if anyone of you is willing to switch from the daily social network app like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to crypto-powered social network. And if you could, do share your reasons for doing so.

As much as I'd like to because it is related to crypto but I just can't. It is not that I am used to using facebook, twitter and instagram but I cannot just let go my communication to my social friends, relatives, and or family specially because they are non crypto user. On the other hand, I am still can handle such platforms even without though it is when the time of I am into crypto; doing work stuff something like that.

I think they are good for the growth and spread of crypto. They will be battling it out for domination though since there are a few of them and look at facebook it is basically the only one which shows that people do not want a whole lot of different social networks but rather one or two they can find everyone on and communicate with a large audience. I hope one day there will be a place like facebook to go where you can find many many crypto users.

I have seen a lot of projects that did ICOs back in 2018 to build a social network that would be based on blockchain. I am still following those projects, but nobody has even released a prototype yet, so this field is still pretty young.

I made a thread on platforms based on blockchain or tokenized, so it would be great to have a list of projects that could come up soon.

I have seen many unsuccessful attempts to create a new better social network that would reward its users but none of them was successful. Maybe it was due to lack of trust and transparency in the project, but this could be solved by a blockchain technology, right? So I believe that Voice will achieve better results.

It definitely is.

Our project D.Tube has already proved successful.
We want to mainstream crypto through video.

We're now reaching 20 k real users.

So many crypto projects raised funds, and only have... projects.
We did it the other way round, building a live product first, to be legit.

Try it and make your mind.
https://signup.d.tube/

Mainstreaming cryptos - and video is a great media for it - will hopefully benefit to all great crypto product in the future.

We will be glad to hear from your user experience Smiley

The reason anyone would want to prefer a crypto powered or sponsored social media platform over the conventional types might be for the sake of crypto adoption. There are some platforms that are aimed for that and not just for the sake of profit making. Some of them do not have their indigenous tokens, rather, they reward their users with already listed tokens.

The more services and platform appear on the blockchain, the larger the community becomes. Large social networks look at this trend and understand that the future for blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and the one who first integrates innovation into his social network, will get a good profit. Facebook and Telegram are already working in this direction, and there is durgie. All this makes us understand that sooner or later social networks will use blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

There was a lot of everything. Different projects used ICO as way of easy crowdfunding. They could do it without any regulations and there was at least in 2016 and 2017 a lot of stupid money founding those project that would never get any normal investors.

You are right! Many crypto-based social network, content, marketplace platform has been launched in the last two years! But honestly I haven't found any good of it so I can move in them from facebook, twitter! With the time, all the crypto powered social network starts becoming garbage, shit or dead! This is not a trend, this is another way to make money from the ICO/IEO sale. I have decided to not invest in Music, Social network, marketplace based crypto project!

It's hard for me to compete with the king of social media like Facebook or others, to switch to crypto-powered social media. very reasonable in my opinion because the king of social media (Fb, IG, Twitter) because it is earlier and people are more comfortable using it. in my opinion can make people switch, if lured lured with money. platforms such as steemit in a particular country many do not know it or even forbid it.

I can not. Currently facebook is an indispensable thing for me because I have many friends there and need to contact them every day.
That's why I can't give up on Facebook just to go to cryptocurrency-powered social networks. It will be very boring when people are just trying to make money instead of providing funny entertaining jokes.

You should create this thread in the altcoin services section, I'm used to Facebook and don't think of switching to crypto-paid social networks, I have a Steemit account and several other crypto paid social networking accounts, but now I never use it again because I'm not very comfortable with paid social networking, anyway the pay is not much, because I will not sacrifice my pleasure just for a little money.

How is using a crypto based social network going to be a sacrifice of your pleasure? You can enjoy it as you usually do, but instead of getting nothing, you will at least be getting some coins. That is even more fun/pleasurable experience!
You waste your time in social media site, then why not just waste it in some other platform while you manage to earn something?

I think that they may be underdeveloped still, I have an account on Steemit, but I only made a couple of posts before I gave up on it. The experience felt relatively limited. They might be a thing in the future, but for now, I don't think I would switch completely.

method of using social networking crypto allows users to get crypto for free but if the family of friends in other social media ,like Facebook is something that will make you lazy because you have to switch from this website then that well the longer user will be upset and will choose the crowd a family

They targeted social media platforms because they believe it will be a trend, they are assuming to be like facebook with a bunch of users around the world.
With a lot of audiences, they can promote to a large scale of people but the question is, will their platform click? I guess not, I have encountered a lot of new start-ups projects that fail with a concept of crypto social media. I guess twitter and facebook, etc. is hard to beat they have gained their reputation. These new startups have bump into a wall. Grin

in the competition the social media industry is indeed difficult to compete with popular social networks, because they already have many users. and some crypto social media currently have a lot of users, I think it will be difficult for a new project with the concept of social media to compete in the market

I could if there's an actual reward for it. Unlike Facebook, they don't share their revenue with their users. But if a crypto-blockchain based social media has come and they're rewarding their users on a daily basis even with limitations, I think I'll use them. Just look with Brave Browser, the popularity of it spread like wildfire because of its reward system. And not just that, because of its low consumption to our RAMs as an alternative to chrome, people used it.

This comparison is enough to see the upcoming revolution in the social media platforms, it becomes addictive after first use for the experienced tech-savvy guys. As an alternative to the old fashion Explorer, the browser product of Google changed the look of browsing the internet and the chromium-based alternative browsers compete until today for hitting the best place. The same idea is actual for the blockchain reward distributes social media crypto startups.

There should be a continuous development not just for these browsers as you have given as an example. It's fairly enough to start rewarding users so that they can continue to contribute to each other. Users contributing to the platform, while the platform rewarding the users as sort of recognition for their users. But this kind of business model wouldn't be taken by the old type of social networks because it's kind of hard for them to adjust if this is going to be their case.

If the kind of browser that is started by Brave will become the trend nowadays especially in this age of cryptocurrency, other browsers must have to think of ways to compete or else they will follow the footsteps of Yahoo when Google, Mozilla, and other players came into the game. Google has generated billions of profit out of it and they did not even reward a few cents to the users. Brave is earning the support of many because of its reward system.

I don't know if I really switch in crypto social network, but there are many of them and still new, don't know how many people involve with it. I better to stick facebook and twitter there are many crypto enthusiast than in crypto social networks.

crypto social networks will not be popular until the cryptocurrency market itself has a large number of users. there are very few people in the industry now

Let's see the fact.

Mostly people are still using popular social network platforms like 0x platforms.
Remember there were a lot of social network projects in the cryptocurrency too. Crypto has a large number of users maybe millions of users but the problem is the project that focused to develop crypto powered by social network is not focusing on platform development.

As far as i know when we back again to the era when steem became a very popular social network in crypto and you will know if that's ever happened with crypto.

People these days are looking for utility usage from the token combined with the platform. Crypto social network doesn't need a large number of users to be a popular platform. That just need to be a trusted and a good platform.
