The Application That Enables You To Pay To Control Someone Else's Life.
How might you feel regarding having the option to pay to control various parts of someone else's life? A different application is offering you the opportunity to do precisely that. At the point when author Brandon Wong as of late, couldn't choose what takeaway to arrange one evening, he asked his adherents via web-based media application New to decide for him.
Those that wanted to engage in the 24-year-old's supper issue paid $5 (£3.50) to cast a ballot in a survey, and the more significant part decision was that he ought to go for Korean food, so that remained what he purchased.
"I was unable to settle at Chinese or Korean, so it was instrumental," says Mr. Wong, who exists in Edmonton, Canada. "I have additionally utilized New surveys to choose what garments I should wear that day and loads of other personal stuff.
"I joined back in March; also, I post [polls] three approximately four times each week. I've presently had more than 1,700 total votes." New is the brainchild like Los Angeles-based business visionary Courtney Smith. The application, which is as yet in its "beta" or pre-full delivery stage, depicts itself as "a human securities exchange where you purchase partakes in the existences of genuine individuals, to control their choices and watch the result."
For large numbers of us, that sounds somewhat unfavorable, yet the fact of the matter is undeniably less disturbing. It is focused on what it calls "makers" - authors, painters, performers, style creators, bloggers, and so on.
It is planned as a path for them to associate undeniably more intimately with their fans or devotees than on other online media administrations and, significantly, adapt that association. When a purported maker sets up a NewNew account and draws in adherents, the individual in question is urged to ask them using video clasps to decide on parts of both their work and individual life.
Mr. Wong, who composes fiction on the Wattpad site and application, has likewise utilized New votes to settle on what classification to expound on the straightaway, in addition to character names and plot improvements. At whatever point a vote is projected, the maker gets the cash-short NewNew's undisclosed bonus.
The maker sets the inquiry and a decision of two answers. Their supporters will cast a ballot and pay to do as many occasions as they like. They don't get their cash back, paying little mind to what direction the outcome goes.
As well as casting a ballot, devotees can likewise pay extra - from $20 - to request that a NewNew maker accomplish something based on their personal preference, like naming a character in a book after them. Yet, the maker can dismiss these "offers," assuming they do as such, the devotee doesn't need to leave behind the cash.
