First impression of new Gen Z app “noplace”: It must be nice to have enough money to sustain such a flimsy business model.
noplace, formerly nospace, was advertised as Gen Z app. The years defining Gen Z are debatable, but we generally speaking, Gen Z entered the workforce years ago, and are aging out of high school. Gen A can be defined as the current elementary and middle schoolers. noplace is a PG-13 app with no media posts. This is already a questionable business model since as of writing this, there are no monetization methods. The obvious gimmick would be to introduce ads, which could potentially be the only media posts, and could be considered pretty unethical.
It's actually a pretty fun app, similar to Threads with more randomness as opposed to algorithmic celebrities, though this is obviously subject to change as more people join. It seems noplace will have to target ads specifically at children, or have general ads, a lot of which wouldn't be appropriate for children. It should go without saying, children do not have money, so it's confusing where exactly they're planning to make money. While all ages are welcome, mature audiences will be bored quickly, and the lack of media posts makes it less appealing to younger generations.
Overall, it doesn't seem like this was thought through to fruition. It's an app that was marketed for Gen Z, currently aged 13-30, but the content is restricted to be suitable for a very small portion of that demographic, the same portion that has shorter attention spans for a text-based app, and no money. Curious what others think about this.
