Social Media - Traditional vs Decentralized
Social media has become an integral part of our lives – it helps in generation and sharing of information, it allows collaboration on ideas and individuals also connect based on similar interests. If facilitates virtual community building and is also an effective communication tool as well as marketing medium for companies and organizations,
Whether social media is a boon or bane to our existence is up for debate, yet with decentralization emerging as a disruptive technology, it is no surprise that we find decentralization transforming the traditional social media landscape to offer promising and exciting opportunities.
With billions of people jumping into the social media game, there is a need for a way to incentivize the great amount of time and effort that countless people spend online each day. Be it sharing pictures, creating videos or producing quality content, people put their data into the hand of the big players, with likelihood of this data being sold off to advertisers or data being misused by hackers or scammers.
Traditional social media is passé, decentralized is the way to go!
AIOS Overview
AIOS stands for All In One Social and is essentially a Blockchain based rewarding social media platform that comes with an integrated marketplace and even offers eCommerce support. It has its own crypto token known as AIOS which will be used within the site to perform various functions addressing the needs of the user and these tokens will be available on major exchanges on launch.
With focus on catering to users’ needs of rewards and recognition and paving way for a decentralized means of social connect not limited by borders, the site has the answer to all the concerns and requirements of users. The below is an overview:
Like any social platform, users will be able to create content as well as the integration with other social media outlets shall allow content to be shared widely. But the users will be able to monetize their content through the rewards program.
With data privacy and security being paramount features that one should look for in the online world, AIOS provides a perfect solution by keeping communication between entities private through end-to-end message encryption. The fact that it is on the Blockchain allows the data to be restricted to manipulation.
Users will be able to showcase their talent, skills, services and products on the site. Products and/or services can be bought or sold on the platform’s marketplace using the in-built cryptocurrency AIOS.
AIOS integrates instant messaging services to allow users to communicate with each other via text, voice, group chats, etc.
Inclusion of social media advertising opportunities also makes it very lucrative for advertisers and multinationals.
In effect, All In One Social (AIOS) provides several unique features and provisions over its competitors, and the integration of eCommerce and social media into a singular platform gives scope for limitless opportunities.

Note:
As of this moment (19th Sep 2017) we do not have enough evidence to either confirm or refute weather AIOS is a scam or not. Please, do your own research and act accordingly to your own finds. ADSactly, as a community, does not have any business connections with AIOS project and neither do we advise anyone to invest in it or not.
We are going to thoroughly research these claims that @Cryptick is making on his post. However, after reaching out to him directly he was very rude. Actually, one of the rudest people we have ever met on Steemit.
It was an experience we would not like to repeat he was saying very rude and derogatory remarks about family. etc.
@Cryptick may be right about these claims but when people approach him to check about fixing those issues he is very disrespectful.
After completing our investigation in these claims he made on his post.

We will fix this Article and change it to state that it is, in fact, a SCAM but not because of this man. We have already started researching these claims and it looks like he is, in fact, right that AIOS is a Scam.

Why have you not updated this post since declaring you would nearly 1 full day ago? You are aiding a scam at this point.
Just because someone is rude (though you have not given proof of this) you cannot dismiss their claims.

this is exactly my concern as well. Now it is four days, and not only does this account not edit this post, it has not removed the upvotes on all the AIOS posts. This is obviously not a wise move as far as integrity goes on the Steem platform.

Why does this paint a bad picture on ADSactly itself? This Article was written by one of the Independent Writer with @ADSactly not sure why ADSactly should get crucified for this one post. If you will notice at the bottom we did update the post to state that we are not telling anybody to participate in AIOS. We also told people to do there own research.

Okay....I guess I have no idea what @adsactly is.
I have just seen some posts under @adsactly before.
Now I am going back and see different authors at the very bottom under different posts.
Have you written about Yourself/business? Can you send me a link so I can understand @adsactly better??
Why does it paint @adsactly poorly? There is a comment by @adsactly that admitted they think AIOS is a scam. But the POST was never edited by @adsactly for the first 5 or 6 days of the post...even though the 'admission' comment is only 1 day or less after the post itself was published. So the edit did not get done for 4, 5 or 6 days.
And since there is no disclaimer explaining the relationship between adsactly, the writers, and AIOS. It was AND IS still very confusing.
Thanks,
Peace.

It reflects poorly on your integrity. Promoting a verified scam is not something people in Steemit do. Period.

@stellabelle, please do not tell people what they can and cannot do. I believe that doing bad is bad. And scams are probably bad. But whatever happen to freedom of speech? Where do we draw the line between what is good to write and what is bad to write?
.
Maybe, this post was not the best thing to write if it is in fact a scam or too much of a scam. But a lot of things can be scams, at the same time. Are taxes a scam? Some would say taxes are scams and some would say taxes are not scams. There is a debate there. Personally, I don't like taxes. I don't like scams.
.
People who come to this post can read in the comments that this AIOS thing is a scam. That is life. That is why we have comments. The comments can disagree with the posts. But is Steemit going to try to become too much like Facebook via too much censorship? I'm asking the question but I know Steemit does not do that. I know Steemit is not Facebook. But I think the question is still important.
.
This post about AIOS was downvoted and did not get money. It got low ratings. That is basically how Steemit works. The better ideas will probably get more money. This post was probably NOT a better idea and therefore not a financial success like a movie that bombs in the box office, the cinema. That is called supply and demand, AKA Capitalism. And promoting verified scams probably shouldn't be encouraged but they will still be promoted sometimes. But the better ideas will beat the scams in the end. The better things will overcome and prevail eventually.
.
But trying to purge the world of scams would be the same as trying to get rid of poverty, bad thoughts, murder, death, sickness, cancer, fire, breakups, ice, tornadoes, terrorism, crimes, and many things. We can try to do it but it is still tough and sometimes counterproductive.
.
Too often people try to be like police. They try to come in and fix and clean up problems afterwards, as in correction. However, a better focus might be in prevention, in education, in training, in helping people make better choices before they go off to do a bad thing, to promote a scam like this AIOS thing, or others, and so on.

this is a false claim you make also on the accusations of slander towards you without any proof which seems to be common from you and others in your group.
it was @cryptick who discovered these things not @adsactly like you claim.
why wasn't research done before hand on the legitimacy of this ICO instead of posting without due diligence, the things that are questionable are fairly obvious and anyone with basic understanding in crypto should be able to spot immediately.
why would you leave post up you realize you can edit and remove until is proven legitimate what if people get scammed?
and trying to take credit for discovering the scam after flagging down the one who did is very low,
you should be rewarding that user not taking credit for the things he discovered this is called plagiarism
I know Adsactly doesn't think is so bad and have hired and support with votes a few plagiarists
but this is serious problem in for any legitimate people who actually do the hard work benefit the platform and dont depend on selfvoting stake to make money.

I am very glad that you were able to investigate my claims further and discover that AIOS is in fact a FRAUD. It would be very interesting to know what additional information you have discovered. My sole purpose of posting was to alert people so those smarter than me could investigate and the community could come to a conclusion.
If -in any way I was rude-, I would like to apologize. I have tried to act in a civilized manner. Since we have not had private interactions, I admit ignorance as to what rude interaction took place but still please accept my sincere apology.
May I also ask that you unflag my posts?
Flagging causes less visibility. Truth is far greater than impoliteness.
We need to get truth out!

This is simply not true. The only time they cannot be reversed is during the last 12 hours of the payout window, which is between 6.5 and 7 days after posting. If the flag is reversed after 7 days it will have no effect on payout, since it has already paid out. But they can be reversed.

another thing that is not showing you in the best light right now is that you have not removed your votes from the AIOS posts, even after the evidence of it being a scam is glaring. This further degrades your integrity on the Steem platform.

Will be interesting to see how many people that are struggling here on steemit will make the jump also since the lead developer of steemit isn't here anymore if AIOS will surpass steemit in some of its areas of weakness.
Maybe the two will just fit different spots in the crypto universe such as twitter, isntagram, linked in, and facebook.
