Avoiding Annoying Ads By Vidy Platform
The world of digital marketing has grown exponentially, and opening up to so many opportunities. So many things are opening up such as the advertisements which come in various forms, the social media and so many others. The positive trait of such advancement is that you can access so many things inside the internet and many other than you required, and that is an excellent thing for the web. There is a lot of information that is circulated within the realm of the web, from thousands of ads, youtube content, exciting event, online shop and so on. Such revolutionary finding is never an impactful as internet creation.
But due to the massive amount of information that has been collected throughout the ages, several annoying things can be found on the internet. In this case, we are talking about malware, viruses, and of course ads. Ads is not a harmful thing that can damage your pc in any conceivable once, or at least the legit ads. What makes the ads annoying here is the vast amount of it that can be seen in every corner of the internet from the simple webpage or blog site to the YouTube channel and Facebook page as well.
Digital marketing is seamless and limitless, there are thousands of opportunity that lies just behind every corner, but ads is one of the dark and annoying sides of the internet that one tends to avoid as best as they can. Once an ads pop up in their pc or mobile screen, they will start searching for a cross mark to close the ads as soon as they can and continue doing whatever they are doing. The pop ads, therefore, are the most annoying forms of internet ads that can be found on the internet. There are several reasons why ads are much hated among the people.
- Ads are annoying
There are no words that best described the annoying advertisements that suddenly pop up out of nowhere. Imagine that you are about to click some vital button in a webpage and suddenly you are being redirected to fraud as that is not legit, or to a slow loading page, and you have to do that multiple times to proceed to the desired button. That is indeed frustrating, and that is why the amount of free and aid adblocker and adware blocker are raising significantly due to the demand of the people or internet user.
- Irrelevant Ads
Imagine that you are a male and need a laptop or mobile phone, and you need some ads to compare your desired stuff or want a preference, but the ads that keep popping is gaming app or adult ads that have zero relevance to your needs. Ads are okay since that is the most efficient way for a particular company to promote their stuff and let the people know that there is an excellent and high-quality good waiting for them. But since we cannot filter the ads that keep showing up, therefore you will get even more irritated, and you end up hating all forms of advertisements.
- Ads look so messy
A webpage that has numerous amount of commercials are dirty and looks unattractive. The more ads they have, be it a banner ads or the pop ads, that will make the people tend to leave such webpage. And the second issue of the webpage-infested ads are, loads of such website will be very slow and going it very hard to access. But this is a vicious cycle that cannot be broken down since most youtube channel, or website does need money, and the advertiser does provide money for them then the publisher will keep posting the ads as they please.
- Ads are deluding
Ads in several web pages are impersonating the vital button such play, download, open, or etc. even actually we can distinguish the legit button and the ads button, hence the ads button looks more colorful and more prominent and brighter rather than the correct button, many people still fall to the ads trap, and therefore they keep getting more and more pop ads. Having to close the pop ads multiple times is not a fun business, and that people will end up hating the pop ads, no matter what kind of product that they are advertising.
The intrusive, abusive and invasive nature of ads, therefore, is the main reason for the downfall of the digital advertisement. For now, about 600 million people are already blocking the ads using the adblocker or the google plugin. And more people are ignoring and try to close the ads as soon as they can. This makes the world of digital advertisement are impotent and ineffective and thus making the companies are wasting their money and effort by advertising on the internet.

The ads counter offensive
The downfall of digital advertisement is already going and seems there is no going back. People are already imprinted ted in their minds that they hate ads as much as they can, and thus will keep closing as soon as possible, and avoid the ads as best as they can when they see the ads. And the big companies are already losing this advertisement war and start using a more aggressive profile track to map the people and learn their algorithm to see their desired ads. That is a wrong way to approach the issues since the main problem, in this case, is not what kind of ads that they want to see, but how to open their minds and accept the ads anymore. And fortunately, there is already a solution that is emerging.
Introducing the vidy platform. This platform is just what the companies need that will bridge the demand of the internet user, and the advertisement needs of all the companies. To keep it simple, the platform does the following.
- Bridging the internet user and the companies
This is already stated a little above. The main goal of this issue is to make the internet user are not anti-ads, and therefore they want to open up their mind again to accept the ads. The platform is doing just that, where the internet user now can see the ads and get money from doing that. That is a very convenient and the perfect booster for the people to see the ads anymore since they need the money and the platform is applying the gamification, quest-like reward for the people to watch the ads. It is straightforward since you need to hold the banner ads and start watching the ads.
- Organized UI
One of the thing that is hated by the internet user concerning the Ads are the messy and disorganized banner ads dashboard. The publisher will spend every space of their websites or the blog to put more and more ads. This will make their page blinking with so many ads color and that is simply annoying. The disorganized UI will also slow your loading page, and consume more data and that is very annoying. The platform will make a solid standard concerning the ads usage and location and amount so that the web will be visited more often and the effect of the ads will be amplified.
- Emphasizing relevance
The relevance of the ads is also important since ads are the information source that can be helpful to your preference. But showing the irrelevant ads will make you annoyed and hating the ads even more. The platform will scan and match the ads and your algorithm so that you can see the ads that you want to see in your life. This will result in the different people visiting the same webpage and seeing the different ads. That is a powerful tool since it can filter the ads, and therefore the company can show the ads to the exact person who searches for such ads.
- Decentralized ecosystem
A free to all business is the dream of every capitalist society. Throughout the history, all kind of laws has been passed such the antitrust in America to safeguard and protect the open competition business and to prevent monopolies and centralized business system. But as the emergence of the internet business in the late early 20’s more and more business has monopolized one particular sector, such as the Facebook mega companies, youtube, google and so forth. This is unhealthy since the internet businesses are getting more centralized and therefore many internet users have no preference or option while browsing the internet. The platform is a decentralized platform where they try to decentralize the informational flow and thus opening a new market for business to grow.
How Does It Work?
It is straightforward to know how the platform works. When you are about to use the platform, you will need to create the account, and in that process, you will need to fill out several information such as the products preference and so forth, so it will be just like a survey. This phase is critical since it will determine what kind of ads that you will see, and what kind of ads that you don’t want to see. That process is natural and doesn’t consume so much time Init. The platform then will work just like the browser plugin, and thus you can see the ads that you desired more.

Token Sales Plan
And just like any other platform, this kind of platform has their token sales too; there are three kinds of sales that occurred in the platform, they are a private sale and the first sales. The private sales have been concluded with tremendous success, and the company is ready to move to the second phase which is the initiation of the pre-sales. The, unfortunately, are not yet informed so then we have to wait a little bit. But according to their website, the pre ico sales will be conducted just about 35 days from now on, or at 15th of August 2018. The soft cap of the sale is about 15 thousand ETH coin, and the hard cap is about 60 thousand ETH coin, $16 million already raised! The pre ico sale will have a bonus of 33% per coin, and as the general worth per token, one vidy coin is worth about 0.00001673 ETH per coin.
And as the token allocation, here is the summary of it.
- 52% token sale
- 22% team
- 25% advertising partners
- 0.5% bounty program

The platform itself recognize four tier of membership, and that tier depends on the total amount of token purchased by the people. Here are the four tier of membership that exists in the platform.
- Free Tier
This is the lowest tier, and have an insufficient amount of feature that can be used by the user. The free user can only upload a single video ad to the platform, and the video is not filtered, which means that their video still can be seen by the wrong person who doesn’t want the ads and thus making your ads ineffective.
- Titanium
Titanium tier is the second lowest tier with a minimal amount of purchased very token is about 300k token. There are variations but still a limited feature that can be accessed by the platform but still is wider than the free account. But you can upload unlimited video ads that you do want, and your ads can now be filtered too.

Say No More To Injustice Towards Photographer
The world of photography is often neglected and abandoned from the spot of the media. Many assume that the photography is just about the passion and hobby and therefore they are doing as they please. But that is far from the truth since many of the photographers are defending their lives and incomes to the world of photography and their business. Today, the primary source of the creator of the photographer is the third party seller platform which is the Getty images or the Shutterstock. We do familiar with the two companies, but little of them know the bitter truth is concerning the two companies, which we are going to explain below.
The companies employ a stringent and demanding policy that is hampering the progress of the photographer and thus stripping off the profit and the right of the photographer. Here we will sum up several concerns that now exist within the current ecosystem.
Not every centralized thing are wrong, in fact, we do need a centralized standard such as currency and system so that it gives us certainty and several degrees of rigidity. What we do mean about centralized in this scenario is the photographer, in which here is the content creator is often left behind in the term of the profit generation process, making it a one-way process in which the company control the whole profit generation process and leaving the creator suffering.
One of the central issues of the photographer here is the right. The right in this scenario is the right or the licensed photos. In this case, the creator is just don’t have any reason once they already submit their pictures inside the system of the platform. Even if the creator is selling the photos outside the system, they need to report back the profit to the platform otherwise they will be getting the legal ramification which is annoying.
These points actually correlate with the first point. This is actually the sad, grim truth about the world of photography where the creator is just gaining a trickle of the profit generated by the system, whereas the company receives more than 85% of the benefit. The professional photography is not merely randomly flashing your camera around and making a profit. It is actually a cumbersome task when sometimes the photographer needs to be in several difficult spots and often shoot thousands of pictures just to get one specific picture that suits the desired output.
What we mean here is the lack of the transparency in the big companies. We do realize that not all the thing are needed to be published to the public, but some points do require openness. But that is just what de big companies lack, where they are reluctant and even not willing to share their data concerning the licensing process, the profit generation and so forth. This is what upset the professional photographer, and thus such a cycle needs to be disrupted.

Disrupting The Current Ecosystem With Wemark
But luckily, as the technology progress, the world is becoming more and more decentralized, where there is merely a lot of disruption and groundbreaking invention that is very fundamental to the realm of business. The rise of startup businesses, especially the one who relies on the blockchain system are becoming predatory to the old ecosystem where they are destroying or at least giving alternatives to the old ecosystem that if proved to be injustice and inefficient. There are a lot of businesses that are currently reforming and thus providing a new business opportunity to make things even better. And such luck is also bestowed to the realm of photography, where a new startup is on the rise, called the remark platform.
Wemark is actually one of the most promising startups that will disrupt the whole old ecosystem that is hampering the creativity of the creator itself. As we can see, the creator is having a difficult time gaining profit, and this platform is actually the best platform to increase the benefit of the amateur and professional photographer alike. Here are several reasons why the wemark is worth trying.
The first and the most obvious reasons are the profit. We already know that the big companies are giving only a trickle of the strength whereas they are generating more and more profit daily. That is actually very troublesome and need to be changed since it will heavily discourage the content creator. In the wemark platform, the situation is just reversed, where the companies are gaining a trickle of profit per photos and the rest of the money goes to the creator.
This is what more interesting on the platform, where the decision making is entirely back to the user. The creator can sell their pictures for the prices that have been set by themselves, and thus is more rewarding for the creator. We do want to ensure that the creator is keeping their creativity and accordingly being rewarded for such effort. And to do that we need to give the creator more right and more role to determine in this form of business. To put it just, on this platform, the part of the creator is significantly higher compared to the previous old ecosystem that is diminishing the part of the creator.
One of the most critical factors In the business is giving the proportionate flow of information to the user or the customer. This is what makes them more appreciated and thus will convert them to a loyal customer In the meantime. Having a loyal customer is apparently one of the primary focus f the company, and one of the most critical points is having some degree of transparency. We do understand that not all kind of information is required to be published, but at least only the one which is critical such as the licensing and the profit generation process. Such information is essential to be released so that the customer or the creator understand for how much they need to pay, how much they need to spend money, and how much they will gain profit per photos.
In the artistry world such photography, one of the most crucial point is the license of the pictures. The grant will determine the ownership of the photos and thus make it protected by the law and gaining the creator the rights of their own creation which is obvious. But unfortunately, such cases did not occur in the big companies since they retain most of the license for themselves. The platform will give the license to all the photographers regardless of their skills and their photos quality and thus make the creator more liberty and right about what to do with their own images. They also don’t need to report back to the platform once they are making the profit to the images that have been licensed by the platform.
Becoming the part of the wemark platform is effortless. First, you need to make your own portofolio on their website. This is important since the platform need to know about your capacity and your skills also experiences concerning the photography. After creating the portfolio you can start to upload the photos of your own and to get the license, you need to pay several amounts of cash at one time. The payment here are using the token of cryptocurrency, and therefore it Is not very expensive in the end. And you don’t have to worry since the licensing is a one-time process and therefore you don’t have to pay several times for your licensing process.

The Road Map And The TGE Of Wemark
Every platform will have their own roadmap to determine their own degree of success. And this platform does have the roadmap. Here are several points of the roadmap of the platform.
2017 is the important year for the platform, where they are signing the contract of the NFX companies that specializes in the market research. The NFX are investing their money in the platform for about 1million dollars. The platform is also opening the waiting list for the contributors or the photographer that are about to sell their own photograph on the platform. And as the website claim, more than 1500 professional photographer are signing the contract just in the few weeks.
At this point, the platform is releasing the very first product, which it enables the user to create a profile and submit their own photos in the platform. There are about 20 thousand offered pictures just a month after the release of such content. This event is followed by gaining the advisors, which is several of notable individuals in the term of business, such lee torrents, as a lead marketing in canvas, Lars Perkins, founder of Picasa which has been purchased by Google and becomes the google photos and etc. the following month is the release of the whitepaper of the platform to become the guideline both for the platform and the user alike.
This is yet another critical period of time for the company. The company will sell their token called the wemark token to the public for the first time. Such token will be used primarily for the transaction that is occurred within the system, and hopefully, that includes the purchase of the pictures as well. And in late 2018, the platform will be transformed into a full working marketplace where many can purchase the photos that have been provided by the photographer for some period of time.
And as for sale, here are some necessary information that you need to know
• The token supplies are about 135 million dollars
• Soft cap around 1.5 million
• Hard cap 8 million
• Price per token 0.20 US dollar per token
• Sale starts July 24th and ends at Aug 7th
• Token usage: licensing, accessing several wemark features
As we can see above, the token supply is meager compared to the other platform where they can reach billions. And the hard cap is also shallow, which is just about 8 million. Which mean that they only will sell that amount of the token, as the rest of the token is used for another purpose. And that is what makes the price per token is rather higher compared to the other token amount, and this will make the sale even more interesting since the token is worth investing for.
And the second most intriguing thing is, the allocation of the token supplies, here is the information concerning the token allocation.
• 38% token sale
• 37.5% reserved for community rewards and economic scaling
• 12% advisors&partnership
• 11% founding team and employees
• 1.5% bounty program
As we can see, the token allocation is rather unusual since the token and the community rewards are almost identical. No other platform is employing such allocation in the vicinity since they implement a huge proportion of the token supply to the sale alone. The board of advisors, the founding team and employees, are also gaining more token allocation.
What we can learn from this basic information here is, the company is dropping more token to the community to reward them for their contribution in building the companies, along with the founder team and the system. That is working along with the dream of the platform to give more reward and profit for the content creator and thus destroying the old ecosystem in which the creator is suffering since they just don’t get enough profit to continue on their project.
