Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the creator of MARKS. I’m not a developer; I’m a guy who looked at the current state of social media and realized we are all factory workers who never see a paycheck. We provide the labor, the creativity, and the data, while platforms package our lives and sell them for billions. I used AI to build MARKS because I believe the people who make a platform valuable should be the ones who own that value. How MARKS flips the script: The 24-Hour Gauntlet: Every post has 24 hours to prove its worth. If it doesn’t meet the community-driven Marks-to-views ratio, it’s deleted. No algorithms. Just math and community standards. The "Kredit" System: We don’t do "creator funds" or PR stunts. When ad revenue comes in, it is distributed to users via Kredits, redeemable through Stripe. Proof of Quality (Tiers): The more influence you have, the harder it is to stay. We hold established creators to a higher standard than newcomers. If you take more from the "commons," you owe the community more quality in return. Pitchforks: Our emergency kill switch. If content is egregious, the community can trigger an immediate removal. It’s a digital society that polices itself. This isn't a charity or a pivot—it’s what social media should have been from the start. I’m excited to show you a system where the "best" content is defined by people, not engagement-baiting code. I’ll be here all day to talk about the ratio math, the Tier system, or how I built this without being a programmer. Let’s talk.
