Firework hopes to reward talent with new Open Story Page, delink fan base from influence

With over a dozen new short video platforms vying for user attention as well as the time of creators who will ensure engagement on these apps, Firework, one of the older players in the segment, has come up with an innovation that will reward talent and not just a follower base. The Open Story Page concept being launched by the Silicon Valley company, once in the radar of Google for an acquisition, could potentially change the narrative on social media platforms and even throw a spanner in the works of influencers who command a premium for their, often inflated, user bases.
