K-ching! And The Value Of Kindreds

Social networks are now the dominant force for social interactions worldwide. Most social platforms give people the simplest tools for expressing their views and passions. One of these tools is the use of emojis which allow people to respond to a post with a “one and done” click.

Emojis allow us to say all we have to say without taking time to offer our deeper reflections. Emojis also allow users to dump on others. While this has become normalized and acceptable on social networks, Youtropolis’ goal is to raise spirits, not dampen them. For this reason, we created kindreds.

Kindreds are tokens of appreciation that build camaraderie and deepen connections. They are a quick way to express your appreciation for a post or comment when you don’t have time to comment. Just click K icon to select the amount your want to give.

Earning kindreds for a helpful post or insightful comment is always an uplifting experience. Receiving a “K-ching!” notification in your inbox brings a feeling of respect and validation. The giver is also uplifted through the act of giving and receiving gratitude in return. Overall, the exchange of kindreds promotes goodwill and positivity, which is what Youtropolis’ social safety net is all about.
