Viberse Launches Points-Based Rewards System in Mid-2025, Offering Monetization for Everyday Users
Singapore, April 11, 2025 -- Viberse Technology today announced its upcoming points-based rewards system, set to launch in mid-2025, offering a more inclusive way for users to earn on social media. This update reflects an industry shift toward user-first design, equitable monetization, and transparency in the creator economy.
Recent studies from Deloitte and the Creative Class Group show growing frustration among Gen Z users with algorithmic feeds and increasing demand for monetization tools available to smaller or less-established creators. Viberse is responding to these trends by introducing a system that offers a wide spectrum of earning opportunities for all users.

A Creator-First Monetization Model

This points-based rewards system, scheduled to launch in mid-2025, will enable users to earn through active participation, including posting, engaging, and completing missions. Over time, it will evolve into a broader monetization framework supporting creators at all levels, minimizing dependency on follower counts, and enhancing inclusivity across the platform.
'Everyone contributes in different ways—not just through followers or fame,' said Andy Wang, Founder of Viberse. 'This new rewards system is about recognizing everyday creativity and making sure all users have a fair shot at being seen, valued, and rewarded.'

Nike's house is not in order and customers are paying the price
In 1978, Nike released the Air Tailwind: the first sneaker to feature the brand's now-iconic Air cushioning technology. The tech was hidden inside the midsole, but it marked the beginning of Nike's most powerful innovation story. Nearly a decade later, the Air Max 1 made the invisible visible. With its exposed Air unit and sleek silhouette, Nike didn't just launch a created a movement that blurred the lines between performance and lifestyle. Related: Nike delivers bad news for customers Since then, Nike (NKE) has claimed the innovation crown. From Flyknit to auto-lacing sneakers, sustainability pushes to space-inspired capsules, the brand knows how to look futuristic. But beyond the buzzwords, how much of it has truly moved the needle? Recent years have been marked less by invention and more by reshuffles and retreats. Earnings have dropped. Strategy has shifted. And now, the man who helped shape Nike's innovative identity for decades is stepping down at the worst possible time. Image source: GingeSwagTia/Shutterstock Chief Innovation Officer John Hoke is retiring after more than 30 years at Nike, according to Retail Dive. Hoke will stay on through October to wrap up projects and support a transition, but his departure marks yet another high-profile exit from a company trying to course correct. Hoke's legacy inside Nike runs deep. He joined the company in 1995 and went on to lead some of Nike's most influential creative and innovation work. His fingerprints are on everything from product design systems to some of Nike's boldest launches. Former colleagues have credited him with helping define Nike's visual language. Related: Nike turns to unexpected brand in desperate bid to win back Gen Z But his exit follows a growing list of shakeups. Just this year, longtime Nike exec Heidi O'Neill stepped down after 26 years. The company also restructured its product and brand leadership under CEO Elliott Hill, who has brought in new leaders to steer the ship. Additionally, Nike just announced that Michael Gonda, a former McDonald's and Chobani executive, will be the new chief communications officer. At this point, if you've lost track of who has left and who has joined Nike, you're not alone - my head is spinning, too. Nike isn't just bleeding talent - it's bleeding trust. Retail partners are still recovering from the years Nike spent chasing direct-to-consumer dominance. Investors are watching a turnaround plan that has yet to prove itself. And the brand's identity, once centered on innovation, feels increasingly unmoored. This past quarter, Nike reported a 9% revenue decline. Executives made it clear they're in damage control mode: cutting promos, clearing inventory through outlets, and repositioning Nike Digital as a full-price channel. But aging franchises and weak apparel continue to drag on momentum. In February, Nike announced a partnership with Kim Kardashian's Skims brand. The first drop was promised for this spring, aimed at boosting appeal in the women's segment. Yet with fewer than 17 days left in the season, time is running out. It was a bold move on paper. But bold branding without timely execution? Not the best look. Meanwhile, recently named Chief Innovation, Design, and Product Officer Phil McCartney is expected to name Hoke's successor, although that appointment has not yet been made. The delay raises even more questions about where Nike's innovation engine is headed next, and whether it still knows how to build greatness from within. For Nike to win again, innovation can't just be part of its story - it has to be the spark that reignites everything.

Incent, MDT Partner to Provide Youth Digital Banking Solutions for Credit Unions
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Incent, a leading provider of family and youth digital banking solutions for banks and credit unions and Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO), and MDT, a CUSO that helps credit unions navigate complex financial technology ecosystems, announced today a partnership to provide MDT clients a fully integrated, youth banking platform to more effectively engage and attract youth members by offering a secure, real-world digital banking experience for children and teens. Incent and MDT partner to provide an advanced youth banking solution, helping credit unions attract Gen Z and Gen Alpha, build long-term loyalty by engaging younger members and build responsible money management habits. The growing demographic disparity among credit unions further underscores the importance of engaging with Generation Z (ages 16 -18) and Generation Alpha (ages 6 – 15). In a recent survey conducted by CULytics, 80% of credit union leaders indicated that attracting younger members is 'extremely important.' However, in the same survey, less than 40% of respondents reported gaining 'real traction' with this segment. Incent, in partnership with MDT, is helping address this concern with its fully integrated, white-labeled solution that is designed specifically for younger members with interactive features, a seamless user interface and an intuitive design that is easy to navigate. Pete Major, Vice President, Fintech Solutions at MDT, said, 'At MDT, we are committed to providing our credit union clients with proven tools and services that support their business goals and help them remain institutions of choice. Engaging the next generation of members is a top priority for credit unions across the country. Incent's platform not only ensures credit unions remain relevant with Generation Z and Generation Alpha, but also has built in features to foster long-term relationships. We are proud to partner with Incent and to make this compelling offering available to our credit union community.' Together, MDT and Incent are providing credit unions a youth banking solution that builds responsible money management habits by offering a secure, real-world digital banking experience. The platform's robust suite of features are designed to teach financial literacy and encourage responsible money management through various modules including: Learn, Earn, Spend, Save, Give and Borrow. Marcell King, president and COO of Incent, said, 'MDT has a strong reputation and history of supporting the digital movement and ensuring credit unions of all sizes are equipped to not only succeed, but to thrive in today's increasingly competitive environment. This partnership is yet another example of that commitment and together, we are providing MDT's credit union clients with invaluable tools to educate and engage with younger generations, while also ensuring these members are equipped with the knowledge needed to make sound money decisions and to establish a solid financial foundation. Our platform is designed to engage the entire family, building trust and loyalty for not only today's members, but for future generations as well. We look forward to a long-standing partnership with MDT and to working with their member credit unions.' Incent's youth banking platform keeps deposits and interchange revenue within the credit union rather than diverting them to third-party fintech sponsor banks. Additionally, the platform helps credit unions grow their share of wallet by maintaining ownership of the relationship and seamlessly transitioning the child to an 'adult' account when the child turns 18. About Incent Incent is the leading provider of B2B youth banking services for U.S. banks and credit unions. Designed specifically for community financial institutions, Incent's youth digital banking solution provides the tools needed to teach kids responsible financial habits. The platform engages youth (ages 6–18) by combining financial education and gamification with hands-on real-life banking experiences focused on earning, saving, giving, spending and borrowing money. Incent seamlessly integrates with financial institutions' existing digital banking solutions, enabling banks and credit unions to engage younger customers while maintaining deposits within the institution. The parent or guardian retains full control of the account, ensuring a safe and educational digital banking experience.

Hinge CMO Jackie Jantos hopes to help make Gen Zers less lonely
Dating apps have developed a bad reputation lately. People ghost others, which means they simply stop responding to someone they once shared frequent correspondence with. There appear to be slim pickings, despite living in big cities like New York, and did we mention a lot of these apps now cost money? At the inaugural SXSW London, TechCrunch caught up with Jackie Jantos, the CMO and president of Hinge, to talk about how the company is marketing itself to a new generation in what has become a listless dating scene. 'This is a generation that has grown up with a deep understanding of how digital experiences are created and what they are trying to get out of them,' Jantos said in an interview with TechCrunch. She listed out the traits Gen Zers want most out of their brands, like transparency and authenticity. It's a diverse generation that spends less time in person than its predecessors. 'If you're not building with inclusion at the center of everything, you're just not going to build a meaningful product or marketing activation to engage them,' she said. The dating app landscape has evolved over the past few years, seeing companies like Hinge working overtime to try and attract and sustain user attention. Tinder, for example, has struggled with growth in the past few years, culminating in the stepping down of its CEO a few weeks ago. Bumble is also seeing a slowdown in user growth. Hinge and Tinder are both owned by Match Group. The Q1'2025 report released by Match Group shows that Hinge is faring a bit better than its sister company. The report showed that Hinge saw an increase in direct revenue, compared to Tinder, and that the app's downloads were 'strong' across the English-speaking and Western European markets.

Berkeley, CA | REGISTER NOW Jantos said Hinge is implementing and toying around with numerous new features at the moment. For example, it has added a quota on how many chats one person can have at one time so that a user isn't simply 'collecting chats.' 'We want to encourage people to close out chats if you're not interested in someone,' Jantos said, adding that hopefully this encourages people to focus on a smaller number of conversations that can successfully move toward a date. She said Hinge is testing its coaching feature, which looks to give users tips about building their profiles. The Match Group Q1'2025 report said Hinge was also looking to introduce Warm Introductions soon to 'highlight shared interests to improve match quality.' Jantos was coy on details but said there was a new introduction that would hopefully encourage users to 'spend a little more time discovering each profile.' 'Our recommendations have gotten really strong with the new AI recommender that we recently released,' she added. (Match Group's Q1'2025 news report said the new feature, launched in March, has already driven a 15% increase in matches and contact exchanges.) Jantos said that Hinge is also hoping to boost its safety features with AI and that overall, tools on the app will 'continuously improve because of AI.' 'But also new tools will come along the wya to coach you along the [dating] journey,' she said. Jantos flew into the inaugural SXSW London to give a talk about the loneliness epidemic impacting Gen Zers. There is no shortage of stories and reports on how young people are connecting less with the outside world, glued to their phones and virtual realities. Jantos told TechCrunch this is one reason Hinge launched its One More Hour fund in 2023. The fund seeks to invest $1 million into organizations to foster more in-person connections among Gen Zers. She's heard feedback from young people on her team that there are barriers to hanging out these days, including how expensive it's become and finding places that feel safe. 'We want to lower the barrier so people just want to come out because we know if they build that skill, it's more likely when they're on our product, they'll be more likely to be comfortable meeting someone up for a date,' she said. And, as expected, Hinge is throwing events, filling ads with creators, such as writers, to 'meet the audience where they are.' It created a Zine and campaign about Hinge success stories to hopefully inspire Gen Zers to go find love. And even better, on the Hinge app.
