only a cracker would think that saying "only your whore mother" would offend me over the internet. You are trying to tug at my emotional heart strings like A cracker would, only to find out that I'm one of the most emotionless nikkas you will ever meet.

Black people don't talk or post like that. Say it out loud: "only your whore mother". You are definitly a cracker fakkit, as displayed by your 6 straight post suggesting you like sucking dikk.


again. Ban bet or nah?
Nah black people talk like that when they just don't respect you cause your a bytch and I don't respect you. You never hung out with white people Internet p*ssy so how you know how they act? My post say nothing about me sucking dikk but when you're the product of a whore you wouldn't be smart enough to see I was posting against someone talking about blacks emotional fakkit. I told you ban bet all day bytch but only if don't come back ever as an alias or anything. If not I'm not doing it.

THE PROBLEM IS PEOPLE THINKING WE NEED EVERY BLACK PERSON IN THE WORLD TO SIGN UP.

REALLY ONLY TARIQ NASHEED FANS NEED TO BE MEMBERS FOR IT TO BE A THRIVING SUCCESFUL PLATFORM.

I'D RATHER 300 REAL nikkaS THAN 3,000,000 CRACKERS, c00nS, BEDWHENCHES, DUSTY nikkaS AND TROLLS.
I just read this shyt in Tariq voice :russ:

Nikka look like my uncle :banderas:
Im not trying to rain your parade and I see your point, but that statue symbolizes quite the opposite of what you think it is. It's nothing to be proud of. St Maurice like some guy has on his avi here wouldve been a better example.

Someone mentioned they saw a screenshot with an "Upgraded Membership" item.

Which suggests that all the features of the site may not be accessible to a free user--number of photos one can upload, ability to send private messages, etc. Reminds me of some of those dating websites where they are basically trying to haul in new members via the free service, but offer all the functionality to the Upgraded Members.. They don't really care about the Upgraded Service. That's not where they make their money. They make their money by selling the info of the free members and/or building up a large enough user base for which targeted advertising is a good move for ad buyers.

Every social networking/dating site that has tried that has failed or underperformed after the free members caught onto the game.

I may be wrong, but Tariq Nasheed doesn't strike me as the type of guy who will be patient enough to sink money into a free app as the user base builds up (and the investment needed to support grows). That could take 2-4 years. That's when you get serious about direct monetization efforts--advertising, tiered membership, etc.

if its one of those sites that will charge you to see who viewed your pro, or who sent you message, its gonna immediately flop.

Yep. That was my point.

If "Upgraded Membership" means most of the best features of the platform aren't available to free users, it'll flop very quickly.

I saw this on the Indiegogo fundraising page:

You will receive all the above, plus you will be listed as a "Founder" on the app. You will also be allowed to participate in all of the think tanks that will be held on the app, for free.

That's for people who contributed $500 to the campaign. So, it's clear that monetization is happening from the jump. Certain features will not be free.

Facebook was burning something like $3,000-5,000 per month in those early days for storage and hosting costs. Tariq is not a developer, so he's already invested at least $100,000 in development costs if he's rolling out a nice platform.

Does he have the patience to provide a "free" service and continue to drop money into it while the user base builds up? Not to mention he'll have to continue to have either in-house or outsourced development support.

For something like this to really succeed, you have to drop a few rounds of capital into it.

Tariq needs to do things more discreet and make power moves behind closed doors. By announcing too much, he puts himself in the attention of the bedwenches, c00ns, and CACs.

Black people be so skeptical about another black person's motive dealing with any project centering around black people when it comes to making money. I seen other blacks turn their nose up to any black owned business whether it's a grocery store, a bank or even Tariq making videos, they saying things like oh you just trying to make money off black people. Well, of course the end result is to make money how else will they continue to stay open and put products out to the market. It's almost like y'all would prefer to see the black person struggle while white person continues his dominance over society. You never see these same black people putting this type skepticism or moral compass on white owned businesses.

Its :mindblown:

People say he's a hustler, and i'm thinking so the fukk what.

It's America thats wut you suppose to do. Its like for us to support other black people its got to be a non profit or we looking:patrice:
