Problem:After Hillary Clinton’s shock election defeat last year, the left began a prolonged period of soul-searching. It thought about the nature of Internet filter bubbles, and why its message ceased to resonate with white working-class voters, which once was a core part of the Democratic base. It swore to never repeat the mistakes that catapulted a dangerous, unbalanced, thoroughly unqualified reality TV star into the the Oval Office. 
  
 Haha, just kidding. 
  
 No, they haven’t learned a thing. Just eight days before the release of Hillary Clinton’s tell-all memoirs of the 2016 campaign, the former Secretary of State has taken time out from her busy schedule to endorse a little-known media startup, called Verrit. 
  
 I'm excited to sign up for @Verrit, a media platform for the 65.8 million! Will you join me and sign up too? https://t.co/bOLSMyk6bG — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 3, 2017 
  
 Verrit essentially packages factoids – but not just facts, quotes too – into sharable little images you can blast your Facebook and Twitter with. These come with an authentication code, allowing you to ostensibly check the veracity of the text, in case it’s been doctored. 
  
 In an interview, Peter Daou, who advised the Kerry 04 and Clinton 08 campaigns, said that these images are “information you can take out to social media when you’re having debates on key issues people are discussing.” 
  
 Generally, I’m in favor of anything that aims to elevate the standard of debate. God knows it’s necessary. But Verrit isn’t the silver bullet we’ve been looking for. 
  
 For starters, the phrase “a media platform for the 65.8 percent” should give you pause. It refers to the number of people who voted for Clinton, which immediately undermines its credibility, particularly in a country that is increasingly polarized between its two political extremes. 
  
 From the get-go, it’s apparent that Verrit isn’t about building bridges or creating understanding, but rather pushing a particular narrative. Daou himself has said as much. 
  
 4. @Verrit is necessary because if you're #StillWithHer, you endure constant harassment and bullying from the radical right and fringe left. — Peter Daou (@peterdaou) September 3, 2017 
  
 Yeesh. Moving on, can we talk about the medium? Yes, image macros play an unfortunate role in online political debate. They allow you to cram more text than you otherwise would in the confines of a 140-character tweet, and use more eye-catching styling. 
  
 But there’s also the problem that most of them are, in some way, utter bullshit. 
  
 One example that comes to mind is Trump’s bogus (and utterly debunked) tweet about the rates of violence perpetrated by African Americans. I’ve seen plenty of obviously fake nonsense from the left, too. Both sides are guilty. 
  
 Ultimately, the medium has as much a credibility problem as the platform itself. And Daou wants us to pepper our online debates with these pictures? Does he not realize that will make reasonable people – both on the left and the right – immediately switch off, just like they do when they get an email that starts with RE:FWD:FWD:RE:RE:RE:RE? 
  
 Does this move you in any way? 
  
 And isn’t there something just incredibly obnoxious about dropping someone else’s content in the middle of a conversation? It’s just so smug and gross, and again, it’ll make people switch off. 
  
 I’m also not entirely convinced by the concept of the authentication code, which seems like a White Elephant. By-and-large, people share first, and check later (or never). How many people do you think fact-checked the story that said Pope Francis endorsed Trump? Or the story that Sanders said the election was ‘rigged’ and unendorsed Clinton? It seems unrealistic that anybody will use this feature. 
  
 Confession time: I’ve got a dog in this race. Personally speaking, I lean towards the center-left, just like Clinton, and I’m a big fan of the former first lady. Moreover, my wife is American, and I visit the U.S. several times a year. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll build a life out there. I think I’d like that. The U.S. is a great country, in literally every sense of the word. 
  
 That just amplifies my sense of disappointment with Verrit. It’s just so disheartening. Is this the best we’ve got? Is this our best idea, and that’s why Secretary Clinton used her influence to endorse it? 
  
 If so, God help us. We’re fucked.

 The saga began Sunday night when Clinton — to the apparent surprise of her followers — took to Twitter to offer her personal endorsement of a new, relatively unknown website called Verrit. 
  
 I'm excited to sign up for @Verrit, a media platform for the 65.8 million! Will you join me and sign up too? https://t.co/bOLSMyk6bG — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 3, 2017 
  
 In the words of its creator, Peter Daou, Verrit is his attempt to create an online hub for Clinton backers so that they can find easy-to-share facts, stats and other “information you can take out to social media when you’re having debates on key issues people are discussing,” he said in an interview. 
  
 The “65.8 million” referenced in Clinton’s tweet refers to her own vote total from the 2016 presidential election. Daou repeatedly declined to say if he had contacted the former secretary of state in a bid to secure her public show of support, and Clinton’s political organization — Onward Together — did not respond to emails seeking comment about its involvement in the effort. Already, the group has funded a number of organizations that are fighting against President Donald Trump. 
  
 Soon after Clinton’s tweet, though, Verrit stopped loading for web users — the result of a “pretty significant and sophisticated” cyber attack, Daou told Recode. He declined to share the name of his hosting company, and did not yet know who exactly was behind the incident. But he said the traffic driven by Clinton’s endorsement — which generated more than 10,000 new Twitter followers for Verrit — isn’t responsible for the outage. 
  
 Once it’s back online, Daou nonetheless has big ideas for Verrit. A former aide to Clinton’s 2008 campaign who later ran ShareBlue, a left-leaning news site that defended her candidacy, he wants Verrit to become a “platform or place in the media” for Clinton backers to “call home and feel like they’re not facing attacks and smears and harassment and false narratives and negative talking points.” 
  
 Eventually, Daou hopes the site will have a podcast, some analysis, a hub on YouTube and other elements, as he aims to help Clinton backers fight the “bullying from the radical right and fringe left.” Asked about funders, Daou said he’s “just beginning the process, actually.” 
  
 “This is a brand-new organic project,” he continued. “We launched this in June, and we’re just beginning the process of how we’re going to expand and grow the company and finance it.”

 Clinton’s decision to hawk Verrit is regrettable for a number of reasons, including that this site looks like a terrible bet in an already over-saturated media economy which is shedding platforms and publishers left and right. 
  
 Verrit’s underlying concept is simple: Users are able to package quotes, factoids and other bits of text into easily shareable social media cards. The cards come with a seven-digit authentication code which can be verified on the website, supposedly ensuring social media users will be able to check to see the information contained within is accurate.

 Verrit describes itself on its website as a “sanctuary in a chaotic media environment” in which Clinton supporters can find refuge from the nebulous concept of fake news and Donald Trump’s dim-witted online hordes: 
  
 Verrit’s purpose is to become their [supporters’] trusted source of political information and analysis; to provide them (and anyone like-minded) sanctuary in a chaotic media environment; to center their shared principles; and to do so with an unwavering commitment to truth and facts. 
  
 The 65.8 million tagline, of course, is a not-so-subtle reference to the number of votes Clinton received in the 2016 elections. Essentially, it’s yet another contribution to the endless relitigation of an admittedly awful election season that ended nearly a year ago.

 The site is run by Peter Daou, an extremely sketchy former Clinton digital adviser with a complicated backstory in web publishing. After the site was quickly driven offline by what Daou claimed was a “pretty significant and sophisticated” distributed denial of service attack, he spent most of the next night tweeting randomly capitalized diatribes suggesting he was not entirely aware the election was over.

 For a startup like this to work, it has to have a clearly defined mission, a valuable product and an engaged base which actually has an interest in using the platform long-term. Verrit has none of these. 
  
 Verrit’s stated mission is to become a “trusted source of political information and analysis,” but it does not immediately appear to be a news organization or even a hub for analysis. At launch, the Verrit account was mostly sending out random quotes from famous Americans with not-so-subtle headlines. One might assume the linked pages have some type of attached article or reporting, but as is plain from archived pages, clicking on a Verrit link just leads to the quote or factoids and a series of links to other websites.

 As Verrit does not appear to have much social media functionality beyond generating the cards for later dissemination on other sites, it’s unclear how it could possibly provide “sanctuary in a chaotic media environment.” It’s more or less a link dump. 
  
 Second, as for the product, social media cards are not an innovation and are not enough to carry a tech company—take for example Whisper, the largely forgettable app which generated cards from anonymous users, and which laid off much of its staff and lost its entire board this year. Verrit basically offers the same stuff Someecards does, except at least Someecards is a hub for original humor in the form of parody Hallmark-style greeting and invitation cards.

 Also, Someecards had this idea in 2007. 
  
 As for the value of its verification process, as the New York Daily News noted, Daou and crew have not elaborated on “how or who would be fact-checking the work.” Since Verrit generates static images, it’s not clear anyone who stumbles across its content will actually have any interest in writing down the codes to verify said content on its page—even generously assuming the Verrit card has original information worth verifying in the first place, and not just random quips and observations pulled from Wikiquote.

 The Institute for Progressive Memetics, a left-wing satirical group which recently joined Twitter, has already made a parody Verrit generator which allows anyone to create fake cards indistinguishable from the real ones. This immediately led to a deluge of Twitter comedians and trolls uploading fabricated quotes, like attributing pro-Bernie Sanders statements to Daou, who really hates the senator from Vermont.

 The Next Web noted, “Daou wants us to pepper our online debates with these pictures? Does he not realize that will make reasonable people—both on the left and the right—immediately switch off, just like they do when they get an email that starts with RE:FWD:FWD:RE:RE:RE:RE?” 
  
 As for the long-term, dedicated userbase, look: Many, many people are extremely angry about the outcome of the 2016 elections, and there’s growing evidence that it might not have just been a mud-slinging dirt fest but actually subject to Russian interference and possible collusion by members of Trump’s team and family. 
  
  
  
 But there has to be a future for politics beyond 2016, especially for the Democratic Party, which is still reeling and has yet to rally around a coherent strategy that can translate its anger over the new administration into electoral momentum. The thing about people who lose presidential elections is that their star tends to fade—and this goes double for Clinton, who lost to a guy formerly best known for racism, selling as-seen-on-TV steaks and a lengthy parade of business disasters.

 As Daou has made fairly clear on Twitter, Verrit is intended to defeat the “Hillary-hating frenzy”and trumpet that “Hillary is not going to be erased.”

Solution:
You may have never heard of Verrit, but Hillary Clinton hopes to change that. Over the weekend, she tweeted that she had joined the "media platform for the 65.8 million" and asked her supporters to sign up, too. The 65.8 million figure refers to the number of people who voted for her in the 2016 election. The site, created by former Clinton adviser Peter Daou, aims to make it easy for Clinton supporters to share quotes and factoids, each packaged on something that resembles a business card and carries an authentication number. (The details on who authenticates the information is unclear, notes the Daily News.) Daou tells recode that he wants Verrit to help Clinton supporters fight “bullying from the radical right and fringe left," and he plans to expand the platform to include a podcast and videos. Shortly after Clinton's tweet of support, the site went down Sunday evening temporarily because of what Daou calls a "pretty significant and sophisticated" cyber attack. Meanwhile, early reviews aren't kind. "Daou wants us to pepper our online debates with these pictures?" asks Matthew Hughes at The Next Web. "Does he not realize that will make reasonable people—both on the left and the right—immediately switch off, just like they do when they get an email that starts with RE:FWD:FWD:RE:RE:RE:RE?" At Gizmodo, Tom McKay thinks Verrit is a "terrible bet in an already over-saturated media economy." The site's Twitter feed had 48,000 followers Tuesday morning, and most came aboard after Clinton's show of support, per a Verrit tweet.
