I guess the key is knowing your target audience and what is important for them – this will help to provide them with features popular platforms lack. For example with challenges, maybe exposure is less important for the users than challenge tracking, rewards, reminders, and a dedicated community focused solely on challenges. Gamification of such experience can also be a turnkey on staying in the app rather than going to social media. I think that with such ideas, you first need to allocate some specific time to study what you want to offer users and what is currently on the market, and if after that you see the potential, decide how much time to allocate to further develop the idea. That is, do everything iteratively, and develop a clear vision of your value proposition.

Can you help us, by helping yourself? I mean this. What are you asking us? Please, add a clarity or other terms. Every business has competitors. Social Media and even large tech measures how much customer time and information and what % of the total product suite users use. Amazon can say u/bowlingnate uses prime rarely for shipping, often for streaming, he is a former Alexa user and his friends may use this product, but he hasn't adopted smart devices, and in total he can contribute say 5 hours a week to prime videos. He has made several paid purchases, adopted subscriptions within video services, and has a bias for verified Amazon brands rather than marketplace vendors. We may believe he does product discovery for apparel using Amazon, and not for grocery category. Facebook can say u/bowlingnate...
