Nikita Bier was not on this episode. A recording of them was played into it, so these are their words but not an appearance on Founder's Journal. It still counts as said, and it is kept out of every score on their page.
Nikita Bier, co-founder of the viral teen social app Gas, explains how the app's positive poll mechanics differentiate it from previous anonymous platforms.
“So the way that we've designed Gas Gas is similar to a lot of anonymous apps that exist in the App Store today, but many of those have been plagued by bullying, and we use a novel mechanic where you answer polls about your friends that we write, and we make all these polls uplifting, polls that are like most likely to be president, or should DJ every party, and Teens vote on each other on these polls, and then they receive a message saying that someone has picked them for these questions.”
