ZapRead.Com is a Social Media and Blogging platform which allows you to earn money for creating content and participating on the site. Now ZapRead is not the first blockchain or crypto based Social Media site or Blogging Platform. Over the year's we've had platforms like Steemit, Hive Blog, Leo Finance and others, however what's unique about ZapRead is it runs on the Lightening Network and you actually earn Bitcoin, where as with these other platforms they have their own native token or coin which you earn. In the case of Steemit it was STEEM or Steem Backed Dollars (SBD).
Now I believe ZapRead began sometime back in 2018 so it's not exactly new, however it does seem to be seeing somewhat of a resurgence in popularity, it's still a fairly small and obscure platform with less than 1,000 users.
So why would you want to get on ZapRead? Well first off if you use Crypto and support Crypto and Blockchain Technology it's a good thing to actually immerse yourself in the space, to use projects that use crypto or run on blockchain and to support these projects. Beyond that I always like to be an early adopter of new platforms, it gives you a huge edge over others if that platform actually takes off. And lastly, while earning a couple hundred Sats today isn't a lot of money, back in 2010 when people were going to Bitcoin Faucets and getting 5 Bitcoins at a time for solving a CAPTCHA, that didn't seem like a lot of money but today it's a heck of a lot of money.
Okay, so we can't say all these glowing things without covering some of the negative aspects, and this isn't a jab at ZapRead so much as it's a problem with all these alternative crypto blogging or social media sites. In my experience on Steemit, Hive, LeoFinance and other platforms, one of my biggest complaints is it's just not an enjoyable place to spend time, I would tend to spend time there simply to "play the game" and earn my crypto. I'll hop onto Reddit just for fun or Youtube just for enjoyment, but Steemit, while I did meet some cool people and make some friends over there, the content and the entire experience was a bit of a chore, and I found Hive and Leo to be the same way.
One of the big problems with these platforms is they are too crypto centric ie all the content is about crypto and blockchain. If we ever want to get mainstream adoption on a platform like this we'll need to cater to all interests and communities from gaming to fitness to sports to politics. My other complaint about these platforms is they tend to focus heavily on the platform itself ie on Steemit probably a good 80% of posts were about the Steemit platform itself, like hey guys let's all go to Steemit to talk about Steemit.
So ultimately will ZapRead take off and takeover Facebook? I'll be honest, probably not, however that doesn't mean you shouldn't join and support this project, you'll earn some Sats and you'll be furthering the crypto space as a whole. Here's one thing that I really do like about ZapRead that makes it really unique, it runs on the Lightening Network and pays in Bitcoin as opposed to some obscure native coin of a platform so that in my mind is what really makes ZapRead stick out among the rest.
If you already have a Youtube Channel, a Blog, or even an Instagram or Pinterest account or board that you manage why not re-use the content you make over there and post it over here, help the community grow and gain some more experience in the crypto space yourself. Who knows maybe someone on ZapRead likes your content and decides to checkout or subscribe to your Youtube Channel and helps grow your audience.
