🔎Overview
What if social media actually made your time worthwhile? ⏰
You spend one month per year scrolling through social media.
What if that time created real impact instead of just filling pockets of tech monopolies?
The Problem is Simple
Traditional social media is designed to extract value from you, not create it for you.
What you get:
Click-bait rabbit holes that waste hours
Vanity metrics that fuel anxiety
Aggressive ads from every angle
Harmful content with no accountability
Your data sold to the highest bidder
What they get:
Your attention
Your data
Your money
Your time
You deserve better.

We're not fixing social media. We're replacing it with something built for the majority, not the monopoly.

The Majority Should Consume AND Produce
Right now, a tiny minority creates content while everyone else scrolls endlessly.

We ask: What do YOU care about? What will YOU create? What change will YOU make?
Then we give you the tools to actually do it.
