Except GV, none of them is shipped from India.
Social media has evolved like anything.
Now my 90% time goes to GV and distant 2nd is Twitter and LinkedIn etc.
GV can be really big if things go right 👍
LinkedIn has 100M+ users in India, so TG is huge.
Monetization should be done in such a way that it doesn't snatches the charm of product unlike other SMs ex quora.
Any suggestions to make GV a better product gvians?
While I am hopeful, the community right now appeals to you because it caters to a very small group of like minded professionals. Once mainstream media gets a hint, it's over. Look how they massacred LinkedIn. Used to be a place strictly professional. Now? Filled with asshats trying to sell bad products and cringe stories. Or take reddit for example. R/IDM used to be a safe space, now it's a shitshow :( . I think the smaller the better. Atleast I got folks like you who will truly try to help me out.
Being an anonymous platform, one isn’t incentivised to create posts for just reach and gaining followers. So it is unlikely this will go sour the same way as linkedin. Also, a community that grows beyond a point will become impersonal. Grapevine should keep creating small niches proportional to rate of growth. Like SDE group becomes specialised for frontend, backend, react etc.
Right!
You can take inspiration from Twitter how it shows ads and earns revenue. This is probably the best way for monetisation.
What is Grapevine's monetizing route? So far, I didn't see any buy button in Grapevine. Would they be going the ad route or Blind route?
Seems like they are currently focused on acquisition and will slowly charge people to keep their id...
What in your opinion are few features that grapevine offers or should introduce which will lead it to become a global social site?
TL;DR
We stay on the internet nowadays. I am doing so since 2009. From orkut to fb, Twitter to insta, WhatsApp to Tg and Quora to Reditt.
If u look closely all are Western apps, few entrepreneurs tried to make the Indian SM app but it ...
