Hello Steemians,
Today we're really excited to announce BuzzBreak, a fun and entertaining news app in which you can earn real cash!
Who Built BuzzBreak?
BuzzBreak is built by the team at Partiko (https://partiko.app/partiko), who also built the most used Steem mobile app Partiko (see https://steemapps.com/). If you have used Partiko before, you will notice they look similar in a lot of ways!
Why Build BuzzBreak?
Partiko aims to be gateway of crypto where people can easily earn STEEM and in the future other cryptos with it. However the onboarding learning curve is very steep for a non-technical person.
BuzzBreak allows people to earn real cash (earning crypto will be supported in the near future) by doing something dead simple - reading news. We hope this can help us reach a broader audience and bring even more people into crypto. Just to give everyone a brief idea, Google News has 1 billion downloads on the Google Play Store, and "Today's Headline" has over 100 million daily active users in China.
Join BuzzBreak Today!
We are giving away 1000 STEEM for people who join BuzzBreak today!
Follow the 6 steps below to earn up to 200 STEEMs (payout after 7 days)

FAQ
Where does the money come from?
We use our ad revenue and share a portion of that with our users.
How do BuzzBreak users get paid?
We currently allow you to cash out BuzzBreak Points into your PayPal account. Cashing out into crypto will be added later based on user interest and demand.
How to get to ranking higher than 100?
You can earn Points to do that. You can watch videos in BuzzBreak to earn Points (as signup bonus, you can earn 3000 Points for watching the first 5 videos). You can also earn Points by inviting your friends to join BuzzBreak using your referral code.
What if I have other questions?
Don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@buzzbreak.news!
Thank you so much! Look forward to your participation!
I am an Android developer, so I know those ways to earn money to keep on the business without having to ask users for money in-app. But the way it is doing things lately on the Partiko app is not the best way to do.
They could show ads on their app, if they wish, of course. Myself added them on my apps. However:
- indicating to the user that an ad will be shown after clicking a button
- not showing a full screen ad -whichever the ad is about, even this new app made by them- as the first thing any user sees when running Partiko
is good experience and is respectful to users. Currently Partiko is not doing any of those, although I think they are trying to fix the second one. Users on Steem are privacy concerned. They would like to know that when clicking a button, a new ad will appear on their screens. Currently, Partiko is selling steemians privacy. They are giving them points, which is far more better than any other social platform. But sooner or later people will realize that their greed for points -which, of course, could be redeemed to upvotes- has converted them into the products, just as they would be in any traditional social platform.
As always, just my opinion on it.
I like the way it worked with Partiko Points. Well, it is still working that way. I liked that gamification feature. I still do. Partiko included a way to make steemians use their app -which still is AWESOME from the performance perspective and quite beautiful compared to some other ones- instead of other ones or even mobile web sites. It also made me delay some actions and perform them on the Partiko app instead in order to gain more Points.
You are surely aware of those delegation of power programs where you delegate some of your Steem Power and gain a few upvotes from the delegee. I am using one of them, Steem-UA. Every upvote is almost 0.100 STEEM which is great. But you are loosing part of your own upvoting power from your own upvoting actions. Partiko lets you get upvotes without that disavantage. Not too much, yes, of course. But that's ok to me. I haven't redeemed most of my -low amount- of Points, but when I had, I felt ok with the value of the upvote.
What I was complaining about is only about this last feature which made you increase your Points by watching one ad. The Partiko listing on the Play Store states that they show ads -that's great, @partiko team, I know one other app from another blockchain which doesn't do the same and still show ads-. But those ads are shown when the user clicks on a button. Every other single app which uses that kind of monetization states very clearly that an ad will be shown. That's not the case for Partiko.

This seems like a really cool app, but really hope that there are other options than to login via Facebook.
Not every person has Facebook, if I got this right, certain countries have no access to FB accounts without VPN.
My wish and suggestion that if you are truly are one of partiko's developing team, then perhaps adopting into Steem login or other means could work.
More and more people are opting out Facebook and it is good to phase out monopolised controls.
Truly hope you will reconsider it.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Do not miss the last post from @steemitboard:
The Steem blockchain survived its first virus plague!
We all are now looking towards the end of our first 7 days to see who get the Steems. Things will be clear when we know what the promised portion is like. My thoughts on things thus far are as follows.
BUZZBREAK HAS REASONABLE POTENTIAL
Looking up and down the Buzzbreak offer I see that it has potential for persons who enjoy news and welcome the idea of earning while doing so. The invitation gifts range from little sweets (1-3k points) to nice slices of cakes (5-200 Steams).Not all will be able to to receive the important Steams and will have to get down to work earning the payouts so as to get our portion. I have not yet found the referrals and might have to email @buzzbreak.news. The longer I take to get it the lesser are my chances of getting the Steam gifts.
It would be nice to know what the payments rates will be for earning Buzzbreak those payouts from which we get that portion.
In the end it is not jus having fun reading news but will it be worth the time we spend reading to earn.
If the payout is good I will be reading a lot of news. Why are the referrals seemingly invisible?
