So say the App takes off and starts making alot of money, will these hosting/template sites get a percentage of the profits?


This is a complicated question to answer. It really depends on your business model but the most important thing to think about in the beginning is getting your product out to the market.

It also depends on how he's generating money for his site (subscriptions? Advertising?). Like any business he would have to invest ALL of his time into it. It's not a side hustle type of thing.

We already have examples of this, they are called:

The Root
Very Smart Brothas
Huff Post Black Voices

VC dollars is dominated by White people and if you think these rich White people are going to bankroll a site talking about Black empowerment you are out of your mind. VC backed social media like YouTube is actively silencing voices of Black empowerment. When you take VC dollars, they own the product not you...why would we want rich white dudes having a stake in what we can communicate and how? When’s the last time you watch BET?

Read the second sentence in my original reply :unimpressed:
Like people are saying $80k is not a lot of money in terms of an investment round
YC gives $150k and that ain’t shyt but they are an incubator at least
Tariq could got way more money from a black investor and probably more help if he was actually serious about building an app

Modus operandi for Tariq dikk-munchers in TLR:

1. Post about his every action and worship him.

2. Someone else posts about him but doesn’t worship him start crying on some “Why you always talking about my man Tariq? You’re obsessed with him! :sadbron:

Apu, Tariq really got your Indian ass in your feelings. :mjlol::umad:

For those saying "I could have done it for him", or throwing all these suggestions, holler at him. He asked on more than one occasion for some advice on how to do shyt, and likely no one said shyt. He also said a bunch if times he would pay brehs for their help as long as they were legit and knew what they were doing.
