There are >300m curators who've never made a dime off their influence. Yup allows them to earn from their engagement without changing their behavior. At scale, Yup provides clarity on what's socially valuable to each user and fixes incentives around social.

Intriguing! I'd love for it to work. Yet as of now it looks to good to be true. There are some obvious questions: What are the privacy implications of this? I guess you have to track every single move of your users to ensure accuracy. Also I guess the money you can earn per like is negligible like with similar setups in the past?

@onreact These are great questions, thanks for asking! The only data we need to track are likes, follows, and comments. The extension also knows what site you are on (in order to know when to trigger) but does so locally and doesn't store that data. We are open-sourcing the extension soon so people can see for themselves. In terms of money, we expect most active users to earn at least $20-50 / month for the next 2 months without doing more than engaging with social the way they do normally. But some users will and have earned a lot more. Similar to betting markets, there'll be big winners and losers.

@onreact @pinkhoodie Thanks for the detailed feedback. I considered signing up but you effectively want to take over my Twitter account. Why do you need all these permissions: Follow and unfollow accounts for you. Update your profile and account settings. Post and delete Tweets for you, and engage with Tweets posted by others (Like, un-Like, or reply to a Tweet, Retweet, etc.) for you. Create, manage, and delete Lists and collections for you. Mute, block, and report accounts for you. Send Direct Messages for you and read, manage, and delete your Direct Messages.

@onreact @pinkhoodie Thanks for the feedback. This shouldn't be the case and we will look into this immediately. Sometimes Twitter forces these permissions as part of sign up, but either way this is certainly not our intention. We'll attempt to fix this and get back to you. Thanks for almost signing up!

@onreact @pinkhoodie OK, thanks! Ping me when it's fixed!

@onreact @pinkhoodie same here. today I went to signup and all the permissions above were ask for. Not confident in accepting this.

Hey PH! We're so excited to share Yup with the world. Thanks Chris for the hunt 🔥 TL;DR - Yup pays you for likes/upvotes on top platforms (Twitter, YouTube, etc.) https://yup.io 🧐 The Problem We spend our days endlessly liking things, curating the web, but never get paid for it. Why? 😭 The creator economy has exploded over the last few years, but curators are still left empty handed. 🤲🏻 🤑 The Solution Enter Yup, the curator economy that rewards users for their likes. It tracks your influence and distributes money from a pool every day based on top likes 👍🏿 You don't earn directly from your like but from the influential likes that come after you. It's kind of like betting with your clout on social media content 💱 Being early is important, being right is even better 🙌🏽 Sign up in 2 clicks with Twitter and immediately start earning. Then download the Yup Extension to manage your money and rate any site on the web 🌐 💸 The Economy: Where does the money come from? While hard to believe, this is not a trick. Yup uses fancy cryptoeconomics to reward curators from a fresh supply of YUP tokens every day, instantly redeemable for cash. The demand for these tokens come from users and businesses looking to boost their influence or make big bets on specific content. When demand meets supply, the tokens are valuable and liquid. (More here: https://yupprotocol.org) Get ready for the curator economy 🚀

@pinkhoodie interesting project! Have you looked into Ethereum.world ? :)

I've always been pretty good at finding the best creators before they became popular... so excited to see that I can get some sweet tokens for that with Yup 💸💸💸
