bond, a new social media platform, officially launched recently. it aims to help users reduce their doomscrolling habits by using ai to provide personalized recommendations based on what users post as 'memories.' these memories can include pictures, videos, and audio files, which the platform uses to suggest real-world activities and experiences.
for users, this means a shift from passive consumption to active engagement. instead of scrolling through endless feeds, users can share their experiences and receive tailored suggestions for activities they might enjoy. for example, if a user frequently posts about their love for pho, bond might recommend a nearby Vietnamese restaurant.
bond does not include advertisements, which is a departure from traditional social media revenue models. instead, the platform plans to allow users to license their data for ai training, potentially generating revenue through a small cut of the profits. this model could also evolve into product recommendations integrated with e-commerce sites.
to get the most out of bond, users should regularly post their experiences. the more they engage with the platform, the better the ai can tailor recommendations to their preferences.
