Show HN: I'm giving away $100 on IncentivizeThis

https://www.incentivizethis.com/bounties/bounty-dec88db5-3d13-4042-95b5-e681b428afe5
2•graerg•6mo ago
I built a platform that lets businesses incentivize online discussion via bounties. Instead of ads, businesses post bounties for specific content and metrics they want to see borne out (e.g., an engaging Reddit comment that mentioning my business and has at least 100 upvotes). Then, the denizens of the internet rise to the challenge and redeem the bounty for a reward.

To demonstrate how it works, I'm putting my money where my mouth is. This post links to $100 in bounties ($10 each) for posting an engaging comment on this thread. Limit one bounty per person (and per comment).

I modeled the full bounty lifecycle with Temporal workflows, so they're completely durable. Bounty fulfillment (i.e., content verification) is done with """AI""", and payouts are done with USDC on Solana so they're really fast. Happy to discuss this more in the comments.

For more info, check out incentivizethis.com; there's a one-minute demo video on the landing page that shows the gist. There's also a longer (5 minute) onboarding video here which should show you how to get up and running as a bounty hunter: https://finicky-elephant.clueso.site/share/aef8d2a6-b07b-440....

Finally, if you think it's neat and want to be kept in the loop, make sure you join the Discord; that's where I'll be coordinating with bounty hunters as I roll out more capabilities. Here's the link if you missed it: https://discord.gg/uvzgf6r2.

This is likely illegal in many jurisdictions unless the poster says that they're being compensated for posting.

See, for example, https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/social-media-endorsements and https://www.asa.org.uk/static/dd740667-6fe0-4fa7-80de3e45984...

Disclaimer - this comment is an attempt to claim a $10 bounty.

That's not "instead of ads" at all, it's just paying for the product placement form of ads.

graerg•6mo ago
I should have said “traditional ads” but yes you’re right. Product placement is one of many use cases. You could also sponsor bounties with more general requirements in order to drive engagement in a particular sector, or incentivize comments with a particular sentiment (e.g., I have a bounty for encouraging comments on hobbyist subreddits).
happy311•6mo ago
Interesting idea. I don’t want to see the internet filled with more ads, especially ads disguised as genuine comments. However, I recognize this was always going to be an eventual outcome of the internet, as long as there are companies willing to pay for “bounties” and participants willing to be compensated for “bounties”.
