Fact Cat says: This article is full of fact and not enough drama, be warned
Have you ever pondered to yourself "Hang on a second, I don't think either Facebook or Twitter is intrusive enough"? And do you want a platform where your comments are being harvested by a giant AI so it knows what phrases to protect people from? Then BeCandid is the app for you. Heavily promoted by your favourite YouTubers such as ShoeOnHead, Bearing, CreationistCat, TheAmazingAtheist and many many more.

A few years ago, Silicon Valley engineer Bindu Reddy was raising money for a new startup. An investor offered to contribute — not because of what she was trying to do, but because she was a woman.
That rubbed Reddy the wrong way, and she wrote about it — then the backlash began.
Now Reddy's goal, with the new social network Candid, is to facilitate online conversations but without the trolls.
This product is completely like their previous data mining product MyLikes.com, so much that the exact same people are working on it.

so I signed up and went for it. I've got a pretty strong social network that my video can be posted onto, so I did it (which is what the site owners suggest you do) and in 2 days I brought in 5,990. Whilst this isn't on par with some of the hardcore YouTubers, I was pretty impressed with this.
Initially, MyLikes agreed with my views. However, when I hit 3,000, they said they were only going to pay for 260 of them.Then, when my view count hit 5,990, it said that the video was disapproved. Now the money that I should have received £80.50
I would strongly suggest that anyone that wants to make money online, they should stay away from MyLikes. I'm not the only one that's had this problem. Google the title of this Hub and you'll find 378,000 hits for this topic. It appears that when you start making decent money, the scrub out your account so they keep all the profit.
The way other artificial intelligence works, is it basically parses your sentence. We use a deep learning NLP algorithm, which basically looks at what you're saying and decides ... whether it's positive or negative. So it kind of classifies things as having a negative sentiment or a positive sentiment.
It then gives it a score of how kind of strong your statement is — let's say you said something about someone or you threatened someone, it classifies that as saying, "Hey this is a very strong statement," because these kinds of categories are not good in terms of social discourse. And when we do that, we basically say if this thing has a score which is more than a particular level, a cut-off, then we basically take out the whole post. So whether it's self harm or like bullying or harassment, we look for certain phrases and the context of those phrases
Candid’s secret sauce is in its artificial intelligence moderation, which aims to weed out bad actors by analyzing the content of posts and keep hate speech and threats off the network. It also has other interesting features: For example, its algorithm tries to weed out false information by marking certain items as “rumor” or “true.” Conversations on the network — even about politics and other controversial topics — are, by and large polite. That’s a good sign and shows that the algorithm seems to be working.
Yes, just like shitty image boards they will make their money by data mining their users. So much for anonymity.
HOW IT WENT WITH IMAGEBOARDS

MyLikes, which operates primarily on Twitter, connects brands and tweeters for paid product endorsements. It is similar to Ad.ly and to some extent Klout.
The company takes pride in its founders, employees and funders being primarily composed of former Googlers.
Like many social media businesses, MyLikes has landed on the combination of brand advertising with cost-per-click payments. Reddy calls Twitter a television replacement, and her clients include familiar TV advertisers like Coca-Cola, Universal Pictures, Axe Hair and Microsoft.
We don't believe in harassers, meninists, abusive bullshit, etc. They can expect to get kicked out of Candid
If you happen to look at BeCandid over at Producthunt.com,((archive)) , you'll quickly see the name Spenxer Janyk aka Spencer Janyk, a real life cuck. He is the product manager, whatever the fuck that means of MyLikes.com and BeCandid. And he is the Dina of everything.
What more do you need to know?

The urge to fear death is a little strange, especially in the absence of a focus on social justice.
Talib Kweli has been in the press a lot lately talking about #blacklivesmatter and I was excited to see him speak at a conference that, despite the best efforts of its organizers, remains mostly white.
Given the ongoing social death experienced by people of color and non-mainstream gender identity, I had hoped that more words would be spoken about social justice. Alas, much like Talib Kweli himself, the hard work speaking and thinking about social justice never really showed up.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Spencer from Candid and I'm thrilled to share what we've been working on. Can't wait to see what you all have to say, and I'm happy to answer any questions.
