I can't stress enough how many people tell me that no social media app does what they want to do.

X only works for famous people. Instagram only works for picture-perfect people. Linked-in is a giant circle jerk. Slack is not productive. Discord is a dumpsterfire. NextDoor is barely a glorified classified. Finding good communities on Reddit is harder than finding a good show on Netflix. Facebook only appeals to nostalgia. TikTok is a mindless stream of the same stuff over and over again. WhatsApp groups annoy users more than help. Etc.

Which is really interesting after the billions of dollars these companies have put into developing them. It's almost as if their poorly designed incentive structure led these teams to fully ignore the user.

They are doing their jobs quite well for the intended users. You just need to adjust your focus to who the users are.

Features

- Addicting Consumers

- Harvesting Data of Consumers to Sell

- Selling Propaganda Space and Data to Users.

People think they are the target user. In many cases they are merely the product on the shelf.

We can build better, offering tools that benefit people.
