People inherently strive for more knowledge – always wanting to better understand the world around them and beyond. But, now busier than ever, it has become increasingly difficult to consume meaningful information. People simply don’t have as much time to sit down and read a book or scan through every page of the newspaper. Our society is evolving to find new ways to learn – two decades ago, a mere 12 percent of people got their news online. Now, that number is over 80 percent with 72 percent using their mobile device to obtain this information. People are now using their wasted, fragmented time, such as waiting for the bus, eating lunch, or sitting on a train, to quickly learn more about what they care about most.
Along with the rise of the Internet, videos have increasingly become a way to find and digest information. An incredible 45 percent of people watch more than an hour of Facebook and YouTube videos every week with over half of all video content being consumed on mobile.
At no cost to them, people can use Snack to both create and view short-form videos. Later this year, Snack will be rolling out an incentive program for creators and influencers; Snack’s goal is to have an entirely creator-driven service. Snack’s initial funding will primarily for content acquisition and product development.
Wu continued, “In just a short period of time, the Snack team has created something that has the potential to forever change how we gain knowledge. I can’t wait to see where this can take us.”
