To foster community involvement, we intend to offer bounties to community members who come up with innovative moderation ideas. We strongly believe that moderation should be a collaborative effort driven by the community, rather than being determined by a select few individuals. We’re not even hot ourselves, so who were we to talk? We were not the type of people with any right to go around judging people on their hotness,” said Hong. “We saw HOTorNOT more as a tool where you could get an honest assessment from people if you wanted it.”
Ngo and Therianos described a workplace environment at HOTorNOT that was a far cry from modern stereotypes of sexist tech bro culture, despite some questionably racy (but innocuous) humor. That poster version of the billboard, for example, was one of the first things one would see upon entering the office. Hey there! Thank you all for your questions. As one of the co-founders and a long-standing member of the ICP ecosystem, I want to express our gratitude for the time you’ve taken to understand the HotOrNot App and its value proposition.Burning Mechanism for Higher Levels: Purchasing higher-level NFTs results in a net burning of COYN tokens. Users cannot hold multiple NFTs at different levels simultaneously. Buying a higher-level NFT necessitates burning a lower-level NFT, thereby reducing the circulating supply of COYN tokens. HOT is the governance token in the Hot or Not ecosystem and is utilized for participation in all decision-making on the platform.
Everything on the app is stored on-chain, with the exception of the videos and profile pictures, which are hosted on Cloudflare. We are awaiting the storage subnets so that we can later put these things on-chain as well. On this forum, at Long Term R&D: Storage Subnets (proposal), you can read more about the storage subnets. User experience, cost, and simplicity were taken into consideration when choosing Cloudflare over non-ICP on-chain services like IPFS. Our roadmap outlines our goal of becoming entirely on-chain as we are committed to creating a decentralised system where users have complete control over their data and content. There’s no doubt that gendered, racist, heteronormative, ageist, fatphobic, ableist, and socioeconomic biases were present in the beauty standards ranked highest on HOTorNOT (as captured by this experiment amalgamating the highest to lowest ranked facial features (opens in a new tab)). They reflect much of the same biases of who gets the most likes or biggest followings on modern social media. Though, Hong argued, since the internet shifted the power of defining beauty standards away from just mass media and advertising companies, more alternative and diverse definitions of attractiveness have been able to thrive on digital platforms like TikTok. The Hot or Not quiz is really popular on the internet, and there are a lot of people who take it every day. It is a fun way to pass the time, and you can learn a lot about yourself from it. Avid Life Media ran HOTorNOT into the ground. Adding salt to the wound for Hong, he effectively cashed out of the Silicon Valley game right before the ubiquity of smartphones changed everything again, opening up another world of startup possibilities. It also soon turned their million-dollar online speed-dating concept into the multi-billion dollar idea copy-pasted by Tinder (opens in a new tab).In those first days, James says he would go rollerblading in a nearby company parking lot. Every day, he would skate up to at least one random person and tell them about Hot or Not. After doing this several times, word of Hot or Not spread among employees who worked there.

( September 2019) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) We firmly believe that with dedicated and thorough study of the white paper, anyone can grasp the sources of demand and supply for COYN & HOT tokens. We have invested considerable time and effort in crafting a diverse range of gamification elements that have the potential to revolutionize the landscape of social media. Questioning the impact of even the best-intentioned, most superficial and crass technological innovations like HOTorNOT is crucial. Yet trying to conclusively declare whether it was an ethical or moral net positive is not only impossible, but futile.
