YOUR CONTENT HAS VALUE. GET PAID FOR IT.
MARKS is a social platform where the people who create the content share in the profit. When there are ads, the revenue goes back to you. Just content, evaluated by the community, earning real money.
A NOTE FROM THE KREATOR
Social media users are the new proletariat.
Every day, billions of people pour their creativity, their opinions, their lives into platforms that mine it all for profit. Your posts, your photos, your conversations — they are the product. The platforms package your attention and sell it to advertisers for billions of dollars. And you get nothing.
You are the factory worker who never sees a paycheck. The content creator whose creation enriches everyone except the creator. The product and the producer, unpaid.
I built MARKS because I believe the people who make a platform valuable should share in that value. Not through some token “creator fund” handed down from above, but through a system where earning is built into the foundation. Where the community decides what content has worth, and the people who made that content get paid.
This isn’t charity. This is what social media should have been from the start.
HOW IT WORKS
POST
Share your content — text, images, whatever you create. Every post enters a 24-hour evaluation period where the community decides its fate.
EARN MARKS
Other users give Marks to content they value. If your post earns enough Marks relative to its views, it survives. If not, it’s removed. Only the best content stays.
ACCUMULATE KREDITS
Marks translate into Kredits — the platform’s earnings currency. The more your content resonates, the more Kredits you earn.
GET PAID
Redeem your Kredits for real money via Stripe. When ad revenue comes in, it goes back to the people who earned it — not to shareholders.
THE SYSTEM
RATIOS
Every post is measured by its ratio — Marks received relative to views. After 24 hours, posts that don’t meet the threshold are permanently removed. No algorithm decides what’s good. The community does, with numbers that can’t be gamed.
TIERS
The more influence you accumulate, the higher the standard. New creators have a lower bar to clear. Established creators are held to a higher ratio. The more you’ve taken from the commons, the more quality is demanded in return. Three tiers, rising difficulty, no exceptions.
PITCHFORKS
The community’s emergency kill switch. If a post is egregious, users can throw pitchforks to trigger immediate removal — no need to wait 24 hours. Built-in safeguards prevent brigading: one per user, account age requirements, rate limits, and hidden counts. The people moderate the platform.
