Social networks changed the way we perceive the Internet, allowed to always stay in touch with others. At the same time we use sites that were created on old idea of communication, we saw nothing new from them, only their’s thrive to survive, to stay relevant.
Trying new way of communication is always a good, especially when it’s something practical, something current social networks failed to bring. At this time it’s WT.social, created by Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales.
He sees a core problem of social sites — they are based on advertising. His approach for the new service is to prohibit advertising and maintain service on user’s monthly fee.
At the moment you can use service without paying a penny, basic functionality will stay in that way. Maybe in the future you’ll need to pay service fee in order to publish posts and comment on other’s posts.
Would it improve current toxicity of social networks? Probably will, but would this service traction on order to survive amongst giants, it’s up to you to decide.
