Peershots® provides a new and exciting way to share photos and earn points redeemable for cash! Unlike other social media platforms, Peershots® rewards users for their engagements (likes, shares, and downloads). A new and novel experience for our users! Just snap a photo and choose to share privately, generate private passcodes, share only to nearby users (a city block), share peer-to-peer, or make it public to increase your potential points through shares, likes, and downloads. Peershots® seeks to give our users a platform to make money with their smartphones. A true revolution in photo sharing! Other social media platforms, e.g., Facebook, Instagram & Snapchat, use "engagement-based ranking," artificial intelligence which displays the content and can lead to misinformation, toxicity, and violent content. Peershots®, however, uses raw, organic chronological ranking, which experts agree helps mitigate social media's negative impacts. Join us and begin earning cash for your likes!
