What it is: A single global counter. You press when an automated system is making a real decision and you believe a human should decide instead. No account, no tracking. Optional context (e.g. loan denial , content moderation ) builds a live feed and insights.
Why: I kept hitting algorithm said no with no way to say a human should decide this. I wanted one artifact that makes that visible and a public Transparency API so researchers and companies can query anonymized aggregates.
Only press if you believe a human should decide.
Most products optimize for engagement, efficiency, or outcomes. This one doesn’t. It consists of a single button whose only function is to record that a human chose to press it. There are no accounts, rewards, or actions beyond that. A short daily observation is shown to reflect how the button is being used.
This project exists to prove that a single human action still matters, even when it does nothing.
