WeScoop, network social launched in Belgium combines the features that make its American and Chinese competitors successful. The application also has a fairly extensive gamification and promises gifts to its users. legal restrictions Create a network social in 2023? Some will say this is crazy, but that’s not the opinion of Dorian Very and Igor Toussaint, two young Belgian computer scientists who went on a crazy adventure two weeks ago by launching WeScoop. The result is immediately impressive and they are already claiming 300,000 users. The phenomenon crossed the border very quickly, and according to data.ai, which we just reviewed, yesterday the service was already in third position in terms of downloads in the App Store in France.
What are the features of WeScoop?
WeScoop is ”super-app” as described by its developers. It is clear that it combines the functions of the main social networks in the market: stories, photos, verified profiles… The app also includes encrypted instant messaging. WeScoop wants to go even further and on announces the arrival of the dating section in a few weeks.

To convince Internet users to join the app, the two creators rely heavily on the concept of gamification. Specifically, users can earn scoopcoins by being active on the service. This allows you to add certain visual elements to your profile, customize the interface, and even win certain gifts, in particular smartphones.
What is the business model of WeScoop?
When it comes to funding, WeScoop doesn’t necessarily have a specific plan. The creators told our colleagues at Dhnet.be that they “live on fixed assets.” Eventually, the service should add ads, but this is currently technically not possible. possiblesay the developers. They add: “We cannot sell user data as it is just one of the points on what on I decided to argue…
Net social uncensored?
Dorian Very and Igor Toussaint promise freedom to their users ton better than their American counterparts. Clearly: “We are not going to beat someone for political views or cleavage, for example, as has already been seen elsewhere. However, the app must comply with the Google Play Store and App Store policies regarding sex, nudity, alcohol or drugs.
Risky bet?
As we said in the introduction, the launch of the new network social in 2023 is a bold bet to say the least when other platforms are already well established in the sector. WeScoop will also have to manage its growth, which seems to be exponential. It is so fast that the first accidents were recorded in the first days. The application will also need to provide adequate content moderation as it grows and finds an economic model. It will also be necessary to ensure the retention of users for a long time, when interest in the novelty fades. This is perhaps the main menace which puts pressure on her. We remember, in particular, the meteoric rise of the French service BeReal last year, which has been in decline ever since. In any case, it is always interesting to watch the launch of a new service. Influencers made no mistake, and there are already a lot of them on WeScoop. For your part, have you ever heard of this network? social, will you try? Write to us in the comments.
