Your call, but I'm not sure it's helpful to have a dozen team members do introduction posts in the launch. Must be 5000 words of attention you're asking for?

@alexmwalker trying to make a few tactics. We honestly want a lot of people to know more about us, since it's a complex part and solution. Lot of moving parts, not so much attention. We wanted to post the most relevant FAQ's that our company has, to start a better discussion on what's going on internally. What would you suggest for the next time?

Hi, I am Ayush a SEO consultant at Etha, I am working with them because etha is adding a value to people's life and saves from biased news & information and right to genuine information within few seconds without being unbiased. ❓FAQ: How do you deal with user’s trying to abuse the platform? 🛑 ✅ Answer: We have advanced AI technologies that understand the topics being talked about in the comment threads. It continuously learns patterns that are constructive in nature and marks the ones that deviate from the topic of interest at hand. If a person keeps on posting deconstructive comments that do not add any value to the ongoing conversation, they can be marked red by the AI. This allows the users to understand in a glance, which parts of the conversation are worth reading and which can be ignored. In addition to that, we also have preventive measures in place to disallow the AI to learn recurring biased patterns that would help us keep our platform healthy and devoid of bias irrespective of the demographic that is conversing in the threads. @cshapiro hopefully our product could captivate you in the months to come! Thought I would share and see if you would have any possible comments on our product. Happy to learn and share more !

Hey! 👋 I'm Savannah, and I am a writer at Etha. I joined the startup because I believe in Etha's mission of representing the objective truth in the midst of a muddled digital media landscape. Happy to answer any questions PH users have! ❓ FAQ’s for Etha: How do we break down news stories? 🗞️ 📰 ✅ Answer: We break down news stories based on events, associated politicians, and topics of interest. This allows us to understand which politician is talking about which subject and what form of narrative they are following. These indicators directly affect the public approval rating of politicians, which are highly dependent on people’s perceptions. When synthesized together, this gives us deeper insights into how people react to different things said by specific people. 📈 Using the data that we collect, we can represent the ways in which certain politicians' standpoint regarding current news events change. For example, a politician might appear anti-vax before a certain crowd, however change their stance before a vax supporter. With Etha, such changes will be visible on the timeline of these news events. They will therefore reveal how the media creates biases and manipulations via changing narratives over time, usually for personal motivations. @tenorllc impact is everything. Wanted to share with you and gather your thoughts! Anything helps! 🙌

I am Shanza an enthusiastic media lover and currently I am pursuing media studies, the reason why I chose Etha was the transparency that provides an unbiased understanding of any news ❓FAQ about Etha: Is this a fact checking system ? 💯🔥 ✅Answer: Etha is not a fact checking system. It is an interactive news social media platform that allows the users to hold politicians accountable while mitigating the spread of information by detecting possible sources of misinformation. We calculate the LeaderQ score for Politicians, which is the public approval rating of a certain figure. It goes up and down as people continuously interact with the statements made by the politicians and is a real-time report card of how likable the politicians in question are. We also curate news from almost 1500 big/small news media houses and understand the narratives put out by them. This allows us to understand how people are reacting to different narratives of the same news. This gives us the ability to verify if the public response is aligned with the news articles that have been published. If they don’t align and people behave in an unpredictable manner, it can be a possible source of misinformation and we would need to verify it further. This allows us to be able to hold politicians accountable while making sure that the content we have on the platform is as close to the truth as possible. @daltonc @daltoncaldwell YC has been interested in a new wave of govtech. Thought this was relevant to you and see how we could give as much insights as possible to your questions!

I'm Na-iem Dollie, a Software Development Manager at Etha. I joined the startup as I firmly support our initiative to mitigate misinformation in the media. Imagine a day where any citizen can open up the Etha app and read news that is balanced, accurate and does not lie by omission. Here at Etha we are working hard to make that day a reality. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions on Etha, or if you would like to support us in this noble initiative. ❓Etha FAQ’s!!: How will we know Etha is credible? All the other news media sites say the same thing…⚖️ ✅Answer: Etha does not only curate news from various sources and provide a way to hold politicians accountable, it also is a platform responsible for mitigating the spread of misinformation. Our advanced AI technologies allow us to detect the possible sources of misinformation. Think of it as an anti-propaganda machine. We are trying to revolutionize the way people consume news. We all are stuck in our own echo chambers consuming the narratives that align with our ideologies. Etha takes the subjective aspect of these narratives and breaks down the news into an objective form. We also go through the various narratives presented by these various media houses and put forth the collected data. This is a way of showing people how different narratives shape different ideologies. We are trying to solve the issue at the grass roots level of ideologies, instead of what just one person feels about a certain topic at hand. We are trying to build a community of people who are emotionally charged about the political polarization and media manipulation that has been tearing our country and people apart. It is time for us to restore the faith in democracy. @tripp_jones we have been able to gain over 7k users within 3 weeks of product launch. Something worth noting! Would love to hear feedback and your thoughts on Etha!

Hi I'm Abrar. I'm just a regular everyday normal flutter Developer and I also work with digital marketing tools. I join etha because I hate misinformation. ❓A common FAQ about Etha: How will we use user data and insights? 📊 ✅ Answer: We will understand what the public needs the most from a political viewpoint, which would allow us to give people a platform to uphold their interests. This is also a way of holding politicians accountable as their public approval rating varies, as a result of people’s opinions being put out on the platform. This allows us to understand what the general public wants at a grass roots level and how we perceive certain political issues. The insights that we collect help us understand which government reforms and policies would be beneficial for the public and we can also understand why a lot of people support the specific reform or bill. @kevincolleran @orson_stadler2 What would you think about this? I feel it resonates with the ideas and companies you are involved with and wonder what your thoughts are! Feel free to let us know! 🙌

I'm Richard and the Lead UI and UX designer for Etha. Fascinated about the idea, the entire team and I wanted to help them out in the beginning because politics today has really affected a major part of our lives and miss information polluted political truths however is what we face today. Using AI to solve political misinformation and making political statements as transparent as possible as well as holding politicians accountable to the statements they make is what we have set hearts to accomplish and with the strength of our great team we are closer than ever before. ❓A common question for Etha: How did Etha get to this point, or even thought of such a complex solution? 🤔 ✅Answer: Great question and it deserves a lot of praise. @nicole our CEO, had this incredible journey, filled with trails and tribulations. Her combined experiences at Warner Bros and Workday as an implementation architect gave her ways to see a broader perspective of how news media works, in addition to the technical systems she had exposure to at Workday (gov and education platforms) tied in this idea naturally. Might I add, that she also had a difficult time two years ago, where she lost both startup and professional jobs during Covid. Her strength and passion to solve this complex problem deserves a complex solution, and her fearlessness is what drives us on a daily basis to get it done! @tk1 @orson_stadler complex problems love complex solutions. Thought you would love to see this product come to life! Let me know your thoughts!
