*Why Wildspark is amazing* vs *Why it can fail* | Earn coins by curating | Synereo news

Wildspark by Synereo. They seem to be developing the platform for a few years now, which is promising. I did some research to figure out how it works.

And after watching a few videos and reading a couple of articles I installed the extension and also started to play with it.

Here's how it works, right now:

1. You install the Chrome extension, you can find the link on Wildspark website

2. You visit a youtube link. Doesn't matter what video, pick your favourite :)

3. You connect once with facebook, for a quick signup and verification

4. You get 10 AMP crypto-coins as a signup gift

5. You "like" aka "amplify" with the coins you have

6. After some time, when other people amplify what you first did, you get rewarded as a curator

It is this simple :) Here is the extension working on a youtube video on my account I just created (also notice my cool pic where I play with fire :p ):

Of course, with time the rewards will only go up :)

Also, look how the extension will look on the right side, after you follow someone or someone Amplifies (or amps) your links:

Why I think Wildspark is amazing:

1. It lets users to simply help the content creators and be rewarded for their work as content curators
2. You can just browse the web and amplify what you like, you don't have to actually post something
3. It is easy to use once you set up your account and browser extension
4. You can get rewards for a long time, as long as someone still amplifies what you amplified. There's no 7 day earning limit

Now it is a great time to join

Even though they are developing the platform for a few years now. Wildspark, the platform, is in the beta stage and just started to actually let users properly interact and pay content creators and curators on Oct 12, this year. Here is their announcement:

So if you want to try something new in the content-curation-crypto-world, just install their extension and sign up to get the 10AMP gift and amp some new videos you think will get a lot o views and shares and you will sure get rewarded back for a long time :)

They are just starting to launch the platform, here's the roadmap:

Why I think it can fail, the reasons:

1. You need a facebook account to verify your Wildspark account, which is bad in my opinion. But they are in beta so hopefully they will fix it.
2. You can only amp videos from what I can tell so far. Again, beta, hopefully the improvements will come :)
3. You cannot set the title, it just imports the title of the video
   

Here are my tips to make it awesome:

• Allow users to login and verify with email, or if they want with phone, or if they want to choose from a selection of social media logins (not just facebook)
• Make it work on mobile devices, and make it easy to use
• Make a tool to make an image out of any website, together with crop functionality, so that you can AMP any page/website/video on the internet, not just youtube videos
• Make a simple way for content creators, not just curators to earn with the platform and to also be able to post on the wildspark platform
  

Disclaimer :)

Some of my tips are already in part included or will be included prior to the official launch (when exiting beta-stage).
I sincerely do not know if it will take off or not, but it is in the early stages, so I will use the extension for a couple of months and spend a few AMPs every now and then and see what happens.

One thing is for sure, I wish I joined Steemit when it first started the beta stage. It is still in beta but it got cooler by the passing months, so this is a chance to be part of something from the very start (it started letting users pay with AMPs on Oct 12, 2017). I will take the chance and see what happens.

Anyway, Wildspark may be promising but Steemit is already working and I absolutely love the community and the connections I made here :) Wildspark has a lot to prove to get close to the momentum and the feeling(<3) Steemit has.

Thank you for your attention and have a great day ahead :)
