Watching porn is undoubtedly one of the simplest things we can do on the Internet today, but what if someone decided to pay its users in addition to allowing free access to content? That is exactly what Vice Token Inc. anticipates, a new company that seeks to revolutionize the market through a platform that will reward visitors with its own VIT cryptocurrency, which can be used to acquire products and services from its main partners.
Like most web portals, adult content distribution services depend on advertising, but they have also incorporated alternative resources (say subscriptions or PPV) that, in addition to removing ads, offer specific advantages such as exclusive access to the latest news, or high-definition streaming.
The dominance of the freemium model in the market is almost absolute, and its main players need no introduction these days, which leads us to explore other developments. One of the most striking is run by Vice Token Inc., which makes a very particular promise: pay its users for watching porn.
How Does Vice Token Work?
To tell the truth, this requires the intervention of cryptocurrencies. Vice Token Inc. is organizing what appears to be an ICO of its VIT coin, which has currently received more than 24,000 Ethereum. VIT is based on an open source blockchain, which beyond token generation also records user activity, whether playing videos or leaving comments. From a certain point of view, that mechanism is similar to what we see in social networks.
Content creators will be able to identify what type of material is preferred by users, and from there adapt their strategies. As for the use of VIT, they can be spent on services enabled by third parties.
Concerns and Compensation
The idea of another service collecting information may not sit well, but there are portals already doing that. Both PornHub and YouPorn train their artificial intelligences with the habits of their users, and there are platforms out there with even more aggressive policies. Vice Inc. not only clarifies this from the beginning, but also plans to deliver compensation.
At the end of the day, everything will depend on the content. If what Vice delivers is good, users will be there.
