Narrative
Narrative is a US-based company which brands itself as the world's public journal, a "self-sustaining content society where members are in charge and get paid, and the world's best content, on every subject imaginable, is easy to find. The project aims to disrupt the traditional business model for social media networks by sharing 85% of monthly revenue with users who "take part in creating and maintaining a reputable environment" using NRVE, its ecosystem currency. This includes users who engage with content, content creators, niche owners, moderators, and members who participate in governance. Narrative was recently nominated alongside TranslateMe, both NEO-based projects, to participate in Hacker Noon's First Annual Noonies Awards in the "Most Exciting Startup" category. Narrative was also included in the "Social Network of the Year" category. The Noonies are intended to be democratic in nature and rely on community member votes to choose the winners. The voting period ends August 16th and winners will be announced on August 20th.
