Question
Zaarly's original buyer-centric, bountry-based product didn't work (and pivoted to a more traditional sellers model)

I remembered the good old Google Answers product (based on bounty) didn't work either?
Even buyer-centric (request centric) services like Uber, Lyft, Sidercar ... etc ... use non-bounty based models.
Have there been any buyer-centric, bounty-bases services that worked?
e.g. "I'd pay $50 for ___ " ... "I'd pay $10 for answer to this question " ... etc
thanks!
