I have been following this Hot or Not/GoBazzinga app for a while and its never added up for me. The idea is to take on TikTok/short form video content platforms but in a decentralized way. Hot or Not seems to take the approach of using tokenomics to support content creators and use predictions to get the best videos to go viral while rewarding the curators/betters of the video along with the creator of the video. All this done on a platform that is owned and controlled by the users (pure decentralization). That sounds great but there seems to be a few issues in my mind. As the ecosystem evolves, we anticipate that most of these games will transition to a peer-to-peer model, facilitating the direct transfer of COYN token value between users.

If this app becomes ‘decentralized’ and the creators leave, who is paying the bill and handling the accounts? None of this makes sense. If you are going to be asking for money from IC ecosystem, at least have the ability to actually be decentralized, otherwise just ask for donations or work with a VC Honestly, what really happened was that by 2004, maybe 2005, we were just really bored,” said Hong.
